Fede Alvarez says he never planned to direct Alien: Romulus 2, but he was adamant about writing it: "We want to make sure no one kills them right at the beginning" Rodriguez also talked about the sequel two years ago, telling GamesRadar+ : "Yeah, we have been talking about it, so we would love to make one. We haven't set it for sure yet, but we're definitely hoping to and talking about it a lot. They're slammed with all the Avatar stuff, but they've definitely been engaging in it." Released in 2019, Alita: Battle Angel is based on Yukito Kishiro's manga series Battle Angel Alita, and follows a recently reactivated combat cyborg as she tries to learn more about her past and true identity. The film starred Rosa Salazar as the titular teenage bot, along with Christoph Waltz, Ed Skrein, Keean Johnson, Jennifer Connelly, and Mahershala Ali. The film, which was co-written by Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis, wasn't a huge box office success, but it didn't do badly either – it reportedly doubled its budget by grossing over $404 million at the worldwide box office.
