Robert Rodriguez gives an update on the long-awaited Alita sequels.
It’s been four years since we had the chance to witness the incredibly ambitious action-adventure Alita: Battle Angel. The movie had the makings of a franchise starter, and yet… there has been no official word or tangible movement on Alita 2 since then. Even though the cast and creatives supported the campaign for a sequel over the years.
In the interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Rodriguez made it clear that he’s as excited as anyone for Alita to have a future, but one thing severely impacted the development of any sequels: The acquisition of Fox by Disney in 2019. However, the filmmaker is hopeful since projects seem to finally be moving forward at the rebranded 20th Century Studios.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT “I mean, movement other than us talking about it? You know, I just wasn't sure it was ever gonna happen because even when the first movie came out, Disney had just bought Fox, so even our marketing people, everybody, were gone by the time that movie came out. And then there wasn't any Fox movies being made for years because Disney was still busy making their own Disney stuff.
Based on a manga series of the same name, Alita: Battle Angel had a pretty decent box office performance, with over $400 million grossed worldwide—which suggests there’s a public that would show up for potential sequels. The futuristic story centers around a cyborg girl who tries to uncover the truth of her past. The cast features Rosa Salazar, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Christoph Waltz, Jackie Earle Haley and Ed Skrein.
Robert Rodriguez’s new movie Hypnotic is slated to premiere this Friday, May 12. You can watch the trailer below and look for Steve's full interview with Rodriguez later this week.
