Plainly the junket for Robert Rodriguez’s new movie Hypnotic has changed into folks asking in regards to the sequel to Alita: Battle Angel. It’s beautiful to see that there’s nonetheless assist for this movie so a few years later and the way the film received just a little misplaced. Rodriguez admits in a brand new dialog with Collider that the brand new misplaced its total advertising division on account of Disney shopping for Fox simply because the movie was within the means of popping out.

“I imply, motion apart from us speaking about it?” Rodriguez stated, repeating what he has stated to different shops. “You recognize, I simply wasn’t positive it was ever gonna occur as a result of even when the primary film got here out, Disney had simply purchased Fox, so even our advertising folks, everyone, had been gone by the point that film got here out. After which there wasn’t any Fox motion pictures being made for years as a result of Disney was nonetheless busy making their very own Disney stuff. However now I’ve seen some Fox motion pictures come out, in order that gave me hope. After which when Jon talked about that, after which [James Cameron] and I’ve been speaking that we all the time needed to do an Alita sequel. He outlined, very completely, a second and third movie, so there’s already materials there. So yeah, we’re hoping that that may occur. However nothing extra definitive than that.”

That is the person who spent over a decade making not solely Avatar: The Method of Water occur but additionally three extra motion pictures so nobody needs to be shocked. Cameron is The Man at Disney proper now, however he’s additionally a busy man, so if Cameron goes to be concerned with an Alita sequel, which might possible be a stipulation of the sequel or sequels even taking place, it could possible be after the Avatar motion pictures wrap up. So we could possibly be ready till 2028, however Rodriguez went on to say, “yeah, we’d like to. We actually liked collaborating, and we positively wanna do one other one.”
