Originally known as Tron, Rinzler's identity came into being when Tron was "repurposed" by Clu. In TRON: Uprising, Tron was forced to adopt the name and appearance of Rinzler after his battle with Clu, using the disguise to avoid capture as most programs believed that he was dead.
Disney announced that production on Tron: Ares — a follow-up to Tron: Legacy, which itself was a sequel to the 1982 original — began in January and that the plan is for the film to premiere in 2025.
Castor (formerly known as Zuse) is a program in Tron: Legacy. He is a flamboyant and vivacious program that owns and operates the End of Line Club, a nightclub located on top of the tallest tower in Tron City.
He returned from the virtual world triumphant over Dillinger, married Jordan Canas, and had a son, Sam. Flynn claimed he made an incredible discovery that was going to revolutionize the world, but he mysteriously disappeared in 1989 before revealing his secret.
How much time passed between Tron and Tron: Legacy?
It was followed by the 2010 sequel film Tron: Legacy, which takes place 28 years after the events of the first film and depicts the attempts of Flynn's son Sam in retrieving his lost father from within the Grid, now ruled by a corrupt program.
With TRON taking place in 1982, TRON: Betrayal taking place from 1983 to 1989, TRON: Evolution taking place in 1989, TRON 2.0 taking place in 2003 and TRON: Legacy set in 2010, the TRON Universe is about humans being transported inside a computer and interacting with humanoid computer programs in a digital world.
TRON: Legacy was a visually stunning interpretation of the world that couldn't be fully realized in the 1982 version, complete with a Daft Punk cameo as DJs inside a nightclub.
Though there were plans for a direct sequel to Tron: Legacy, the mass conglomerate had initially scrapped the project. Australian filmmaker Garth Davis made another attempt in 2020 but could not get the movie to work, especially with a global pandemic crippling most productions.
Though a sequel to Tron: Legacy was in development with prior director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and the rest of the second film's cast, the project was ultimately canceled by the Walt Disney Company. Then, it was announced that a reboot was in development that would ultimately reset the franchise altogether.

Upon leaving, Kevin Flynn explains to Sora that Tron had been changed into Rinzler by Clu. After returning to Clu, Rinzler informs him of Sora when he shows him his Identity Disc.
He recognized him due to his dual-wielding discs. Right after Kevin says, "It's him, Tron," the camera focuses on the discs in Rinzler's hands for a few seconds. It's also possible he recognized him by his clothing. He still had the distinctive 'T' made of squares on his upper-chest.
