According to a tweet from writer and producer Steven Santos , a plane trailing the message #AlitaSequel and #AlitaArmy has been spotted flying around Hollywood during the Academy Awards red carpet.This comes after fans brought the hashtags up to trending status on Twitter recently, as reported by ScreenRant . There were over 19k tweets which included images, fan art, memes, clips, and more from fans to celebrate the movie and help push for a sequel to be made.Alita: Battle Angel wasn't as successful as many had hoped, especially in the US. Combined with James Cameron's decision to focus on his Avatar sequels over this project, fans are concerned they won't get a sequel to this film.At IGN, we happened to think the movie was pretty great and it even made it into our best reviewed movies of 2019 . For those who do want to see a sequel, a good move is to vote with your wallet and pick up the film which released on digital, Blu-Ray, and DVD last July
