While no official plot has been released, here’s what fans can expect based on the story and cliffhangers from the first film:
- Iron City and Zalem Conflict: The first film left Alita’s quest to reach Zalem, the floating city, unresolved. The sequel would likely expand on her continued efforts to fight for justice, uncover the truth about her past, and confront the forces controlling Zalem.
- The Motorball Tournament: In the first movie, Motorballโa deadly gladiator-like sportโis introduced, and Alita is shown to have remarkable skills. The sequel might delve further into the brutal sport and explore Alita’s participation in it as a way to gain access to Zalem.

- Alita’s True Nature: The sequel would likely delve deeper into Alita’s past, especially regarding her origins as a highly advanced warrior cyborg, and her connection to the fallen city of Tiphares (Zalem’s original name).
