Garrett Hedlund has been cast as the lead in the sequel to 1982 sci-fi classic Tron.

Hedlund, whose credits include Friday Night Lights and Troy, will play a boy who is sucked into a computer-generated world.

Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner - who starred in the original - and House star Olivia Wilde have already been confirmed for the project.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hedlund beat Chris Pine, Ryan Gosling and Michael Stahl-David to the part.

Disney has ditched working titles Tron 2.0 and TR2N and will apparently use the title Tron for the long-awaited follow-up.
