After years of anticipation, Alita II—imagined here as Alita: Fallen Angel—soars beyond the scrapyard streets of Iron City and into the deadly heights of Zalem. Directed once again by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron, this sequel picks up where Alita: Battle Angel left off, as Alita raises her sword—and her heart—toward the city in the sky.
Months after the tragic loss of Hugo, Alita (Rosa Salazar) has become the reigning Motorball champion, using her fame and influence to get closer to Zalem. Fueled by vengeance and justice, she’s determined to bring down Nova (Edward Norton), the mysterious puppet master who rules from above.
Alita’s journey takes her into the dark underworld of Zalem’s tech elites, where rebels, exiled warriors, and AI experiments await. Along the way, she uncovers shocking truths about her origins, the URM (United Republics of Mars), and Nova’s true plans—not just for Iron City, but for humanity itself. Her past as a Berserker soldier resurfaces in full, forcing her to question whether she can still choose her own path—or if she’s destined to be a weapon forever.
New characters emerge, including a rogue URM commander who may have once fought alongside Alita, and a mysterious hacker who infiltrates Nova’s mind from within. Old allies like Dr. Ido (Christoph Waltz) and Koyomi return, now part of a growing resistance movement.
Alita: Fallen Angel expands the scale of the first film while keeping its emotional core. The action is even more intense—gravity-defying martial arts, high-speed Motorball sequences, and zero-gravity combat inside Zalem’s cybernetic towers. The visual world is richer, blending cyberpunk with post-apocalyptic beauty.
The heart of the film, however, remains Alita’s humanity. Rosa Salazar delivers another motion-capture tour de force, portraying a hero torn between rage and compassion, memory and identity.
Alita II (or Fallen Angel) would be the sequel fans deserve: bold, emotional, and visually breathtaking. With deeper lore, stronger stakes, and a heroine we continue to root for, it promises to be more than just an action spectacle—it’s a story of purpose, rebellion, and love in a broken world.
