In Alita: Battle Angel 2 (2025), the first teaser trailer promises an epic return to the dystopian world of Iron City, with Rosa Salazar reprising her role as Alita and Edward Norton taking on a pivotal role as Nova. The teaser opens with a sweeping view of the floating city of Zalem, contrasted against the gritty underworld below. Alita, now a fully realized warrior with her memories restored, looks out over the horizon, ready to confront her past and fight for her future.
The trailer showcases Alita’s enhanced combat abilities, with rapid glimpses of her battling new, more dangerous cyborgs. The stakes are higher this time, as Alita has uncovered dark secrets about Zalem and Nova’s control over both Iron City and its citizens. A haunting voiceover from Nova (Edward Norton) teases their inevitable showdown, hinting at the manipulations and experiments that have shaped Alita’s life since the beginning.
A new character, rumored to be a rebel leader (played by a yet-to-be-revealed actor), is introduced. He allies with Alita in a rebellion against Zalem, determined to bring down Nova’s tyrannical rule. Alita’s internal struggle between her humanity and the ruthless warrior she was designed to be is a major focus, as she faces moral dilemmas while protecting those she loves.
Flashbacks in the trailer show more of Alita’s past life as a berserker warrior in the Martian wars, giving audiences a clearer picture of her origins. The stunning visuals are packed with intense action sequences, including a heart-pounding scene where Alita leads an aerial assault on Zalem, dodging futuristic drones and facing off against cyborgs loyal to Nova.
The trailer closes with a tantalizing face-off between Alita and Nova, promising an explosive clash of ideologies and power in the full movie. Nova chillingly whispers, “You were always my greatest creation, Alita,” as the screen fades to black, leaving viewers craving more.
