Jackie Earle Haley is set to join Rosa Salazar and Christoph Waltz in director Robert Rodriguez’s “Alita: Battle Angel”, an adaptation of the manga graphic novels.
The sci-fi project is produced by James Cameron and his Lightstorm Entertainment partner Jon Landau.
According to THR, “Alita” tells of a female cyborg (Salazar) in the 26th century that is discovered in a scrapyard by a scientist. With no memory of her previous life except her deadly martial-arts training, the woman becomes a bounty hunter, tracking down criminals. The action-adventure story is meant to serve as a backdrop to themes of self-discovery and the search for love.
It is believed Haley will play a monstrous cyborg villain.
