We haven't heard an announcement on the next film yet right?
I'm talking animated not live action :/

I mean if you look at some the past betas for Pokémon Gold&Silver and some of the other games there is clear instances of them redesign some Pokémon and eventually putting them in a future game.It'll probably happen at some point, but the movies that were gonna happen these couple years are presumably lost forever. I just hope the same fate doesn't befall the mythicals.
This. I wonder why it was delayed to "to be announced", I wanna see what Movie 24 look like if it wasn't for COVID.I've been wondering the same for quite a long time actually. No new info since M23 came out. Are they still? I miss them
In fact animation industry thrived with covid. Unlike live action movie, they were not really impacted by covid since there is no shooting, and only minimum travel in small group. almost the entire animation production line only require a good computer to work, computer that can even be brought to work at home.Covid probably threw their whole schedule off. Didn’t Iwane said covid said affected the working environment?
I do wonder that whether due to movie plans being shifted, the games held off on introducing a new mythical for gen 8 and instead may shift that mythical to gen 9
I doubt Zarude was the only gen 8 mythical planned
That is most likely the reason. A quick Google search shows that Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle made a box office of only about $23 million USD which is pretty awful for a film from one of the largest entertainment franchises to ever exist. Covid was just a good excuse for the anime team to end the film series. I wouldn't be too surprised if it turns out the mythicals that were supposed to be after Zarude were saved for the SwSh DLC, I mean, just look at Calyrex, its design practically screams mythical ... though I think it would be more accurate to think of Urshifu and Calyrex as DLC mascots. Perhaps, this is what GameFreak will do for Scarlet/Violet, too.The economics for an annual Pokemon movie may not be as favorable as well. Even attendance in Japan had been declining. And their ability to draw attention to new mythicals and new generation of Pokemon isn't needed in this era compared to pre-Social Media/online video.
I agree with Calyrex screeming Mythical.That is most likely the reason.

TBH, I've always found the movies to come off a little fanfiction-y at times. The human characters can be a bit OOC and the circumstances in which they befriend or meet the mythical of the year sometimes seem like very strange coincidences. I mean, it just so happens that Ash is always in the right part of whichever region he is visiting and at the right moment to meet a new mythical over 20 times?
