A very faint hope. Essentially, ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL director Robert Rodriguez is hoping that the Mouse might be more interested than Fox was in doing something with the IP. Disney owns it now, after all, and since (as GeekTyrant notes) Rodriquez is working on THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT he might have some juice there. I myself would not object to a miniseries – not that I have any say in the matter at all, mind you.
But still. ALITA was a lot of fun. I’d like to go back to that world, even if it was just on the small screen.
Ever read the manga? It’s pretty solid for most of the first major portion, then goes completely off the rails (the author was deathly ill, hopped up on medication, and thought he was going to die), then partially reboots and recovers (he got better)… then kind of just keeps going without a whole lot of direction…
More than enough to make a sequel and maybe a trilogy if they stick to the plot of the first major section.
