UPDATE: It’s now February 6th, 2020, and #AlitaSequel is once again the top trending topic on Twitter. At this time, at least 10k tweets have gone out with the hashtag today!

Unless Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron’s Alita: Battle Angel has been making a ton of money on home video (here’s hoping), there’s probably a good chance that Disney (who now owns 20th Century Fox) isn’t all that keen on making a sequel to this year’s cyberpunk action film. After all, it only made $400 million on a $170 million production budget at the box office.

That said, producer Jon Landau had urged Alita fans earlier this week to make sure they’re letting their voices be heard, and indeed the “Alita Army” has risen up on Twitter today.

One of the top trending topics on Twitter this morning is #AlitaSequel, which thousands of fans have been using to tag the Disney and 20th Century Fox accounts. At the time of writing this article (10:20am EST on December 5th), over 12,000 fans have already taken part in the social media campaign, which should certainly (at the very least) catch Disney’s attention.

Alita: Battle Angel came to an end with a sequel tease – Alita is taking the fight to Nova – but whether or not it ever happens is entirely in the hands of Disney’s executives.

As always, the bottom line here is MONEY. If Disney feels that it’s not worth spending a ton of money to bring Alita back to life, there’s a good chance no amount of fan support could possibly succeed in making it happen. Sadly, that’s just how it goes in Hollywood.

But if you want it, make sure you’re at least letting Disney know!
