Waltz is currently in early talks to star in Alita: Battle Angel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
First Robert Rodriguez officially took over as director on the cinematic adaptation of Battle Angel Alita manga, and then the movie cast Rosa Salazar as the main protagonist.
Like the popular manga graphic novels, Alita: Battle Angel will follow a young cyborg named Alita on a dystopian Earth in the 26th century.
Adding Christoph Waltz would be a major score for Alita: Battle Angel, which is finally gaining steam after all these years.
