Back in 2019, James Cameron’s long-in-development adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s Battle Angel Alita released out into the world. Retitled Alita: Battle Angel and with Robert Rodriguez in the director’s seat (but with Cameron on hand as a writer and producer), the movie ended up being pretty good when all was said and done. It didn’t light the world on the fire, but it was a fun action flick propped up by Rosa Salazar.

Recently during an interview with Forbes, Cameron outright said he was working to ensure a sequel to the film would get made—multiple sequels, in fact. He explained that one of the reasons he’s selling his coastal ranch in California is because he’s got too many projects that take him elsewhere. “On Avatar, I’m working in Wellington and Los Angeles,” he noted. “And on the new Alita: Battle Angel films, I’ll be working in Austin, so it just didn’t make sense for us anymore.”
