The moment that many fans have been waiting for has finally arrived: It has been confirmed that there will be sequels to Alita: Battle Angel! We will officially return to the film universe of the beloved cyborg who made the leap from anime to live-action. After much speculation and campaigns for the continuation of the franchise, the production is now a reality.
The confirmation was made by James Cameron himself, who served as producer of the first installment. Recently, the filmmaker offered an interview to Forbes to announce that he will sell his ranch in California. As part of the conversation, Cameron mentions that one of the reasons for leaving this field is precisely his commitment to the new films in the saga starring Rosa Salazar. This was what he said:
“On Avatar, I work in Wellington and Los Angeles. And on the new Battle Angel movies: The Last Warrior, I’ll be working in Austin.So it didn’t make sense to us anymore.”
The filmmaker’s comment was casual, as if he assumed that the news of the approval of the new films had already spread everywhere, but the truth is that this had not happened.
Yes, producer Jon Landau confirmed a few months ago that they were already having active talks for a second part (via ScreenRant), but never announced that it would be done. Since his partner has spoken, does he have more details?
For now, hope will revive for all those people who wanted the story of Alita: The Last Warrior to continue, since it is important to note that, in his comment, Cameron mentioned “movies”, which means that there are plans for more of one. So, if you used the hashtag in networks #AlitaArmy to support the development of more stories, today you are in luck. It remains to be confirmed if Robert Rodriguez will direct again.
Battle Angel: The Last Warrior can be seen on the Star Plus platform.
Jose Roberto Landaverde I love writing, listening, reading and commenting on everything related to cinema. I love music and am a fan of The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Paramore. My favorite movies are Rocky and Back to the Future and obviously one day I’ll climb the “Philly Steps” and drive a DeLorean. Faithful believer that cinema is the best teleportation machine, and also that on the big screen we can all see ourselves represented.
