Things have been relatively quiet in the Cinema EOS space from Canon, as they marketed the heck out of the Canon EOS R3 for the last many months.
There was an expectation that Canon would make a big splash at NAB 2021, but that show has been cancelled and won't return until April 23-27, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This change may have an impact on when Canon announces new Cinema EOS gear.

C500S would hold up pretty well against the V-Raptor
It is going to get interesting if these specs are accurate
Will there be a corresponding stills lens?
Although it might be a bit too chunky for most.
It would also make me consider the 15-35 f/2.8 over the 14-35 f/4
Canon Cinema EOS C700DR has my interest. But only if the body is right. The old body was big and ugly. The c300/500 body isn't pro in my mind. I want a Box like Alexa Mini or red. I want Raw + Prores + DNX in ALL frame rates unlike the c700. Canon I know you can do it!!
