Seems odd when the first movie got pretty middling at best reception and if it did turn a profit it was just barely.

Not long ago (I think about January) there was an article discussing sequel possibilities with the first film's director and he said if one did go ahead, it'd be better aimed at Disney+ |

Cameron’s commitment to go from maker of my favorite kinds of movies to working on thing I couldn’t have less interest in is impressive.

Not at all surprised, Alita feels like a passion project for Cameron that (while more low key than Avatar) he wants to experiment with.

I thought the first one was good.
I thought the first did well and was well received. But it came out just before the Disney purchase of Fox movies so any sequel talk was abandoned to be assessed later.
Saying that a sequel would be a hard sell. They really needed to strike while the iron was hot.

So, the Motorball and Coming Home/Exiled arcs? Or will he jump ahead to the Agent Of Tiphares?

I don't have a lot to add here as I've never seen the movie, but Cameron does a lot of work with the tech company I work for and we had a party on the set of Alita at Troublemaker Studios. Was pretty cool to see a movie set in real life.

Sounds cool, just hope it doesn't take five decades for these sequels like it did for avatar.

I liked the first movie, but thought it only needs one movie as a sequel. Not sequels, plural.

Hopefully Rose whats-her-name keeps those big CGI anime eyes. Those were sexy. And give her a few more CGI enhanced parts too, like cat ears and a tail.  |

Alita was a passion project for Cameron so I'm not shocked at all.

Can we get a True Lies sequel? Like... That & Titanic are the last good things the dude made. And we don't need a sequel to Titanic.
