Overview
- In a new Empire interview, Cameron says he and Robert Rodriguez have "sworn a blood oath" to make at least one more Alita movie and are "making progress."
- He adds they are considering a story architecture that could bridge to a third film, though delivering one sequel remains the immediate goal.
- Cameron notes he recently moved near Rodriguez in Austin, Texas, and expects to get more serious about the project within weeks of finishing the Avatar 3 mix.
- The sequel remains early in development with no public greenlight, production timeline, or studio confirmation.
- The 2019 film grossed about $403–405 million worldwide on a reported $170 million budget, with follow-up efforts complicated by Disney’s absorption of 20th Century Fox and Cameron’s Avatar commitments.
