Canon News has uncovered an optical formula patent for a Canon RF 85mm f/1.4L USM. Canon has already released two 85mm lenses in the form of the terrific RF 85mm f/1.2L USM and the affordable RF 85mm f/2 IS STM.

I think there is only a market for an RF 85mm f/1.4L USM lens if it comes with lens image stabilization. For the moment, I can't see this being an imminent release, as other areas of the RF lineup still need to be addressed, but I'd say it's possible such a lens could come our way in the distant future.
