Alita: Battle Angel received commercial acclaim, when it was released back in 2019. The film, was directed by Robert Rodrigues, was written and produced by James Cameron.
Rosa Salazar, who stars as Alita, talked to Collider, about the sequel. "It still might happen," said Salazar. She also quipped that she will get Cameron back for Alita, after he finishes the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash. Speaking about being a fan of Alita: Battle Angel, Salazar said, “I’m like, ‘Keep going, keep going.’ I’m one of those. I’m all the bots online doing that.”
Avatar: Fire and Ash is set to release theatrically on December 19. The film sees the conflict between Jake and Neytiri's family with the Ash People of Pandora.
Meanwhile, Cameron is also adapting the book Ghosts of Hiroshima by Charles R Pellegrino. The book follows the story of a man who survives the bombing of Hiroshima, and then catches a train to Nagasaki, when the city is bombed again. The book will mark Cameron's first non-Avatar film since Titanic (1997).
