Production[edit]

James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez have hinted that Alita: Battle Angel could lead to multiple sequels.^[1] On February 6, 2019, they announced that they have plans for Alita: Battle Angel 2 in the future. The casting of Edward Norton in a non-speaking role as Nova in this film was intended to be a setup for the sequel.^[2] Additionally, the uncredited cameos by Michelle Rodriguez and Jai Courtney were meant to set up larger roles in a sequel.^[3]

In April 2020, Christoph Waltz stated that he had not heard any discussions about a potential sequel to the film, and thought the possibility was unlikely following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox as it may not fit in with the Disney culture.^[4] However, in January 2021, Rodriguez still holds out hope that a sequel to the film will be made.^[5] In September 2021, during an interview with "The Nerdy Basement", Rodriguez claimed that he would try pitching an Alita sequel if The Book of Boba Fett series, directed by him, succeeded in "knock[ing] people's socks off".^[6] In December 2022, Rodriguez and Cameron took a virtual blood oath to make a sequel.^[7] In April 2023, producer Jon Landau confirmed that the sequel was in active development with Rodriguez and Rosa Salazar returning as director and star, respectively.^[8] In July the same year, James Cameron reiterated that he is working on more than one Alita sequel.^[9]
