Director Robert Rodriguez remains hopeful that plans for Alita: Battle Angel 2 will continue to move ahead following recent comments about the project from producer Jon Landau. Based on the Japanese manga created by Yukito Kishiro, 2019’s live-action Alita: Battle Angel adaptation was originally intended to set up multiple sequels, though these plans were later cast into doubt following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Hopes for the continuation of the series, however, were recently reignited when Landau suggested he was actively speaking with Rodriguez and star Rosa Salazar about potentially returning for a sequel.
