Exactly, look at Johnathan Majors. He had a lot against him, more than just allegations, but he wasn't dropped by Disney until the conviction.

Look at Ezra Miller. He had allegations against him aplenty. Honestly he had more than allegations, but I don't think many (any?) went to court. With the DCEU already dead it saved Warner Brothers the trouble of having to fire him, but he disappeared from TV & films immediately.

Disney really wants Tron to exist as a franchise. Tron Legacy was a huge film (cost wise) and it had a spin-off cartoon. They recently opened a Tron themed rollercoaster at their theme park. This film is meant to keep the franchise alive and renew interest.

Now I'm not against a good Tron franchise existing. Tron is a fun aesthetic. But obviously fuck Jared Leto. Whatever the future of Tron, the quicker they can drop Leto the better.
