It’s been six years since Alita: Battle Angel released in theaters, and while the manga adaptation has a dedicated fanbase, it is no secret that a sequel has not been prioritized by the studio. Still, the filmmakers behind the blockbuster epic are determined to make a second film, if not a trilogy, that finishes what the first film started.

During an interview with Empire, James Cameron revealed that him and director Robert Rodriguez have made progress on the long-awaited Alita: Battle Angel sequel. In fact, he funnily revealed that he has a “blood oath” with Rodriguez to get the follow-up off the ground, displaying their commitment to the franchise.

“I appreciate the loyalty of the Alita fans. Robert Rodriguez and I have sworn a blood oath to do at least one more Alita movie. In fact, we’re thinking of an architecture that bridges to a third film, but we’ll be satisfied if we can make one more. And we’re making progress on that.”

More to come.
