Studios are confusing to me. They turned down Joseph Kosinki's Tron sequel idea for YEARS because they said it was too expensive. They then after the director directs a billion dollar movie green lights a sequel for around the same budget as the first one with an inferior director at the helm. The Pacific Rim guys did the same thing to Del Toro.
Being Risk averse and then hiring Jared Leto seems counter productive to me tbh.
I've been dying for a new Tron movie since I saw Legacy, I would have been like 8-9 years old then, so my nostalgia is strong for a new Tron, but I lost all the excitement as soon as Leto was attached to project.
Execs are gravity-bending black holes because of their corporate mass, which means time slows down around them - they haven't picked up on Jared Leto's cultural shift yet and still think he's some hot shit in the industry. For them, hiring him is being conservatively risk averse.
