Cameron Doesn't Want to Helm 'Alita' Sequel.

James Cameron is at the apex when it comes to box office winners. His latest endeavor, 'Avatar: The Way of Water' booked over $2.3 billion globally.

Cameron has made big dollars for Disney, so Bob Iger, Disney CEO, wants Cameron to work his directorial magic on a sequel to 'Alita' and rug-pull Robert Rodrequez from the project.

The 'Alita' films are sci-fi action movies centered around a female cyborg. The first film, 'Battle Angel' grossed $405 million worldwide but with a cost of $200 million. The sequel has to do lots better.

Sources say that Iger is ready to green-light 'Alita 2' but not with Rodrequez at the helm. Disney is desperate for revenues at all costs as the Mouse-house is strapped with a massive debt load and marginal performances in its non-film divisions.

For his part, Cameron is not keen on the idea. At 68, he has committed to three more Avatar films, and other projects.

It would be no surprise if Cameron passes on this project. Given his age and other commitments. His comment regarding the latest turn of events was, "Our time as artists is finite."
