Star Wars Crimson Reign - New details from Charles Soule let us know where the Knights of Ren are and how this all plays into the original trilogy timeline.
To launch in December.
"In Crimson Reign, there are a lot of things that happen, right? It's very, very cool, it's a big, sprawling story. It's the middle chapter of this trilogy. It's a three-act structure," Soule shared with the Broaxium podcast. "Act One is set-up, Act Two is complication, Act Three is resolution. So this is complication. And one of the complications that happen are [that] the Knights of Ren pull a heist on Fortress Vader. So they go to Vader's Castle on Mustafar and they ... So that's the thing. It's a whole issue built around that idea, it's gonna be what you think it is."

Rumor Mill

Star Wars Old Republic
D.B. Weiss and David Benioff were rumored to be starting work on this. Now that Rogue Squadron has been delayed indefinitely, a NUMBER of insiders are talking about this new project that isn’t Taika Waititi’s, Kevin Feige’s, or Rian Johnson’s projects.

Wonder Woman 3
Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, and Hawk Girl, both rumored for the movie.

X-Men TAS
ANOTHER rumor about an animated series. This time it is a little more vague, with original series producer/director Larry Houston still apparently in the dark, and Feige steering the ship, it could go a number of ways.

Spider-Man No Way Home
“Leaked” images making the rounds…
ALSO
New rumor for post No Way Home says we will see Tom Holland wear the Venom symbiote.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
The movie will reportedly introduce the SON of T’challa and Nakia.
