Alita Battle Angel Exclusive header
Summary As audiences continue to campaign for the sequel, producer Jon Landau offers a confident update on Alita: Battle Angel 2. Produced by Landau and James Cameron, who also co-wrote it, the 2019 movie acted as a live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name, centering on the eponymous cyborg as she is reactivated by a scientist and given a new chance at life without any memory of her past, setting out to discover who she really is.
Yes, I just answered that I knew before you even got there. I'm very proud of that film, and we were doing it concurrently with Avatar. I was down with Robert on the set doing all that, and Jim was involved too and saw it. It came on HBO one night, and Jim watched it and called me after he watched it. He said, "Jon, Alita was on, I just decided to watch it. It's a good movie." And it is! So, I want to be able to definitely do more in that world.
Given the original movie took nearly 20 years to be made, Cameron's dedication to bringing Alita to life makes it all the more likely that the sequel will be produced at some point, though the timeline remains unclear. Generally, a long wait for a sequel can prove problematic for a property, with the likes of Independence Day: Resurgence and Escape from L.A. showing some of the more detrimental strains of a longer gap.
