Alita: Battle Angel is the little anime adaptation that could, a longtime passion project James Cameron was initially meant to lớn direct before another little movie called Avatar got in the way. In stepped Cameron’s frequent collaborator Robert Rodriguez, who signed on to direct in 2015, with Cameron still involved as producer. Rodriguez’s Alita: Battle Angel was released in 2019, earning mostly positive đánh giá and a passionate cult following.
Rodriguez has always been mở cửa about how much Cameron’s fingerprints were all over Alita. In an interview with Inverse before the release of his action thriller Hypnotic, Rodriguez revealed that Cameron’s involvement extended beyond just a single movie: Alita was planned khổng lồ be three films.
“Jim’s outline was very detailed, because he was going khổng lồ make these himself: three movies.

And though Cameron may be busy with multiple Avatar sequels, he may still impact the fate of Alita 2.
