“she had the name of the movie tattooed on her wrist to remind her where she started. ‘It also reminds me that just like Alita, I can strongly overcome any difficulties,’ Awie said.”
James Cameron may not be the one to direct Avatar 4 and 5. Could he be making himself available to develop the Alita: Battle Angel sequels?

James Cameron is thinking of letting another director finish his Avatar saga. Speaking to Empire in a recent interview, Cameron indicated that he has other projects besides the Avatar sequels that he’d like to develop and would consider trusting another director to direct them.
“The Avatar films themselves are kind of all-consuming. I’ve got some other things I’m developing as well that are exciting. I think eventually over time – I don’t know if that’s after three or after four – I’ll want to pass the baton to a director that I trust to take over, so I can go do some other stuff that I’m also interested in. Or maybe not. I don’t know.”
Anyone familiar with how Alita: Battle Angel finally made it out of production Hell knows that James Cameron handed the directing duties over to Robert Rodriguez so that he could focus on developing Avatar 2 and Avatar 3. If Cameron takes the same approach with Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, he would make himself available to develop sequels to Alita: Battle Angel. It’s no secret that Alita has a special place in Cameron’s heart so it’s reasonable to assume that the other “exciting” things that he alluded to developing include Alita sequels.

“I will fight to make Alita 2 happen until the end of time,” Salazar told [The Digital Fix]. “Thanks to performance capture technology, I could do this movie whenever. I could perform this sequel in five years, but I don’t think it should take that long. I think that it’s a story that should continue.”
