Constant Reader acat alerted us earlier that more than one ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL sequels are apparently being worked on.

This is, I think, solid enough to run with. James Cameron wants to make these movies. James Cameron’s AVATAR 2: THE WAY OF WATER grossed 2.32 billion dollars. James Cameron gets to do whatever he wants as long as he makes that kind of bank, and that’s just fine with me. As I said last month:

That’s Constant Annoyance acat… and I figured you’d like this news.
I .. really should get around to seeing Alita ..
