It seems that we have been talking about the Canon RF 35mm f/1.2L USM forever. This lens has been on our pretty accurate RF lens roadmap since the beginning.

We have reported that it would be announced in 2021, and then in 2022, and now we are told that the lens has been pushed back to 2023. We're not exactly sure why the lens has been pushed back, but I think that we can assume as to why, and we're tired of typing the reasons!

We have been told that Canon would like to announce it alongside two other RF L prime lenses to round out the lineup. With the Canon RF 135mm  f/1.8L USM expected to be announced, I think it's likely that we will see an RF 24mm f/1.4L USM, RF 35mm f/1.2L USM and another wide angle L lens announced if things go to plan for Canon.

At least one dealer has confirmed this information to us.
