New Canon cameras have focus breathing correction and Canon prefers to pull focus slower in video for smoother focus.
That being said, less focus breathing in the lens would be welcomed.

Perhaps "video focused" means that they are going the Sony route and making a set of lenses smaller and lighter to make the gimbal friendly.
If that is the case then f/1.4 and no IS would make sense.
A higher aperture and the inclusion of IS would make the lenses bigger.
Smaller and lighter lenses would also make some photographers happy.

Wait, the title says "RF 50mm f/1.4 IS USM", but the edit says "RF 50 f/1.4L USM", no IS. Is it competing rumors, or is one or the other the prevailing assumption?

He appears to work hard at what he is doing over there. Sometimes hard work, persistance, and effort pays off.

Me too (shocker) for the 35!
For a 24mm I'd probably rather wait for a TS lens... the 50 1.4 is not going to pry the 50 1.2 from my very alive and very grabby hands
It seems like I am going to be disappointed with this upcoming round of announcements

And I bet the backend won’t change the URL slug, so the link will have the original title in it forever as well
At work we have similar issues with our internal documentation, we can improve the docs and reword things, but all the links have to keep working.

It seems there are about three of us that want a native Canon RF fast UWA that handles coma well. I Have the Sigma Art 24mm f1.4 and 14mm f1.8 EF mounts and use them both quite a bit for astro. I would willingly replace both with Canon RF offerings but it seems Canon has never taken the astro market that seriously other than creating bodies that cater to night photography. We will see what this 24mm holds and hope that they go even wider and fast with another prime (ideally 12 or 14 mm) or release an UWA zoom that is at least f 2.8. Any of these would be a guaranteed buy for me if they are decent in the corners.

Unfortunately I don't really see Canon fleshing out the UWA bits of the prime lens line-up (anything under 24mm) this year -- the 35L, maybe 24L etc will take precedence.
For now, I think a A7CR with some combination of Sigma 14/1.4, 15/1.4, 20/1.4, and 24/1.4 is probably the best bet if you are serious about astro.

Take the Voightländers!I want only 3rd. party lenses, not the crappy Canon RF lenses.
Tamron and Sigma rule!

If this 1.4 50mm is close to the EF-M 1.4 32 in terms of max. magnification, overall image quality and in the region of 1 k$/1k€ I will buy one. Good for FF but also great for APS-C where it is 80mm-ish.
Just tried my FD 1.4 50 S.S.C. with an EOS RP today to see how it works: Image quality is phantastic for FullHD including soft background but trying to make a video of myself was not that easy: Looking at a smartphone to check my right position and than putting the smart phone away and talk without moving isn't that easy.
