The sequel had a complicated path. Once Rodriguez once doubted that he would ever be realized, especially after Disney had acquired the 20th Century Fox. But his hopes were rekindled when he started seeing more Fox projects go on.

Alita It is a film that even now that he recently appreciated what we had, we are really proud of that film. And we think there are more stories to tell with his character and that’s why we want to return to it. “

The manufacturer also explained that when they make the film, they will use the film technology created to help bring Avatar 2: The Way of Water to life:

“I think what we have learned Avatar This is the most shades and subtlety of facials we can enter characters that we want to be emotional and emotional that are humanoids. Alita It would not have been possible, but for what we did Avatar. Avatar: way of water It would not be what it is but for what we have done Alita. And now let’s go back and return it Alita.

The film is based on the manga series Gunnm Of Yukito Kishir. The story has been set for several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita It is located in the Ion City Scrapyard from Ido, a compassionate cyber-dottor that brings the unconscious Cyborg into its clinic.

When Alita Awakens, she has no memory of who it is, nor has any recognition of the world in which it is located. While Alita learns to navigate in her new life and the insidious streets of Iron City, Ido tries to protect her from her mysterious past.

Cameron and Rodgriguez initially planned a trilogy of films and Cameron wrote over a thousand pages of notes that would have covered the whole story. I hope this sequel will be made.
