Filmmaker James Cameron is currently prepping his Pandora-set sequels Avatar 2 and Avatar 3, which do not officially have release dates set at this time.

Battle Angel is based on the Japanese manga novels by Yukito Kishiro, set in the 26th Century where the world and society as a whole has collapsed following a world war. Cyborgs are commonplace in this universe, and humans often augment their own bodies with robotic parts. The story centers on a 14-year-old android named Alita, who has lost all of her memories.
