Can anyone remind me what major villain from theam game so female? Nobody comes to mind. (Still wondering who will play Jashugan).

Meh, all memorable villains from Gunnm were men. Why they are doing this? I would want Desty Nova there! Imo the part of the first manga they are adapting is perhaps among the least memorable ones since it lacks the gravitas of the beginning and end of Gunnm.

Am going to assume she's going to be playing Desty Nova's assistant,who was the only female villain of note in the series.

Might she be Chiren? Calling Chiren a villain is simplifying a bit, but then again, a lot of the characters get pretty complex and switch sides.

Alita looks old. I'm not encouraged by what I've seen so far.

I really hope Desty Nova is going to be in this. I mean come on! That said- it didn't say what villian she was playing, maybe it's going to be a totally original character but I sure hope not.

Maybe she will be Eelai? Hm, I hope so c_c
