Programs are about to explore a reality that has never welcomed them before.

While the plot of the upcoming sequel is still being kept under wraps, a few details have emerged related to the story set to take place in the third Tron movie.

While Monaghan played an important role in the 2011 comedy series, Shameless, he has slowly entered the world of science fiction through a couple of recent productions. The actor portrayed both Jerome and Jeremiah Valeska in Gotham, a prequel series about the city that would eventually become Batman’s playground. The twin brothers played by Monaghan served as substitutes for the Joker, as the iconic Clown Prince of Crime couldn’t show up in the show because Bruce Wayne was still a teenager. However, if a Joker was ever born in that universe, he could’ve been inspired by the Valeska brothers and their dirty deeds.
