Are there new compact primes coming soon(ish)?

I would tend to think that the f/2 WR lineup is pretty steady (and not that mature) for the moment and Fuji would have no reason to update it as of yet, even if you have a personal need for compact and faster ;)  The 1.4 iterations are still very small by industry standards and are a balanced fit on the X-T series. 5 minutes with a FF body and a RF 50 1.2 and just how tiny the Fuji's are is impressive.

I don't have any information but I think this would be a tough one for Fuji.  The new XF8F3.5 at $800 has had some push back on price.  I would imagine a 23/35/50 f2 "mark II" would be at least $600.  With the originals plentiful at half that, is anyone going to buy a new, improved version?  Any improvements aren't going to be game changers, just fine tuning.  We can dream but its hard to see a business case.
