Alita Part 2 Victory Angel (Spoilers - Speculations)
In the manga, after Hugo's death Alita does become a Motorball star alongside working as a Hunter-Warrior, only to lose her championship match against Jashugan (played by Jai Courtney in a very brief cameo in Alita: Battle Angel). She then becomes embroiled in a plot started by Nova where she must kill Zapan (Ed Skrein) in order to resurrect a recently-murdered Ido. She's sentenced to death after doing the deed only to be recruited by a Zalem spec-ops group who gave her a new body and set her on a variety of missions with the ultimate goal of killing Nova. Love Interest theme will be substituted by forming part of a team/family. Some variation of these events can be expected in the sequel; very little in the movie contradicts the broad strokes. this sets up the opportunity to go to Zalem for the last chapter Alita Angel Of Death - Some info taken from {ScreenRant}
