Alita Fans Cling to Hope for Sequel as Avatar Sequel Looms
18 Nov
Summary
- James Cameron's Alita: Battle Angel has a dedicated fan base
- Cameron says at least one more Alita film, possibly two, could happen
- Cameron and director Robert Rodriguez have a "blood oath" to make it happen

As of November 18th, 2025, the future of the Alita: Battle Angel franchise remains uncertain, but fans are clinging to hope that a sequel could still materialize. The 2019 film, produced by acclaimed director James Cameron, has developed a dedicated fan base known as the "Alita Army" who continue to advocate for a follow-up.
In a recent interview, Cameron revealed that he and Alita director Robert Rodriguez have a "blood oath" to make at least one more film in the franchise, and potentially even two more to complete a trilogy. Cameron stated that they are "making progress" on the project, suggesting that the possibility of a sequel is more than just talk.
However, the path forward for Alita is complicated by the massive success of Cameron's Avatar franchise. With two more Avatar sequels on the horizon, the director's attention and resources will be primarily focused on those blockbusters. Additionally, the high production costs and mixed box office performance of the first Alita film made a sequel seem unlikely at the time.
