Scientific fantastic fighter "Alita: Battle Angel", based on the manga Yukito Kisiro, was published in early 2019. With a budget of 170 million dollars, he collected a little more than 400 million at the box office, which can be regarded as a fairly average result. But at the same time the film acquired a significant number of fans. Those of them who actively require the shooting of the continuation, call themselves the "Army of Alita". They arranged a number of shares in support of their idea. For example, a plane was launched with a banner over the Oscar 2020 carpet.
Earlier, the producer of the film John Landau stated that the initial project was conceived as a trilogy. The director Robert Rodriguez and the role of Alites actress Rosa Salazar supported the idea of the continuation of the continuation. Now they were joined by the actor of the role of Dr. IDo Christoph Walz. In an interview with Collider, he said:
Of course I want to work on the next movie! But I know no more than yours. I do not know anything about the second film. Honestly, I am a little disappointed and surprised by this. The film has so many fans, he liked the people, I liked him. I gladly worked and looked at the result of the work. But it's all about the transaction Fox and Disney. Fox worked on the picture, and now all the rights from Disney. And unknown, whether our project fits into the ideology of Disney.
Maybe they are there and work out the idea of Sicvel. But I just do not enter the number of people who are reported in the first place. Therefore, I do not know anything.
