Robert Rodriguez directed the first installment, starring Rosa Salazar as the titular character.
A few years after Alita: Battle Angel premiered on the big screen, it appears that development on the sequels to the 2019 blockbuster is actually moving forward. During a recent interview with Forbes, James Cameron confirmed that we will be taking some time in the near future to work on sequels to Alita, even as he finds himself currently busy with the Avatar sequels.
And on Avatar, I’m working in Wellington and Los Angeles. And on the new Alita: Battle Angel films, I’ll be working in Austin, so it just didn’t make sense for us anymore. Alita: Battle Angel was directed by Robert Rodriguez, and it followed the titular character, played by Rosa Salazar. As a revived cyborg suffering from amnesia, Alita needed to find her place in the world all over again, and that would prove to be easier said than done, given how she lived in a place where everyone had to fight for themselves. The special thing about Alita was the fact that she had a human brain, something rarely found in her post-apocalyptic reality.
While Alita was strong enough to save the day, the same couldn't be said about the film itself. While the box office numbers earned by the film were impressive for a February release, its elevated budget didn't allow it to become a completely profitable endeavor for Fox. Added to that, the studio's acquisition by Disney delayed any potential development on the sequels while the merger was taking place.
