From additional intel I’ve been hearing, Maul will be of the shirtless/tattooed variety and there is a fourth figure said to be Luke Skywalker from the Thrawn era of Legends comics

UPDATE: Rumor Report: Five New 6″ TBS Figure Listings
In the wee hours of the early morning, I managed to find 5 new Black Series listings that are currently en route from China. They are of course coded to protect their identities from being revealed but they should start popping into the retailer databases soon. Note that 6 per case breakdown for the “seasonal” figures and 8 per case breakdown for “martial arts” figures. The above SKUs are different from the “Sun”, “Wind”, “Rain” and “Snow” which we reported last month, so they are not duplicates of those.
The products have been added to our 2020/2021 Master List.
UPDATE: I have learned the identities of the 5 above figures plus a sixth. None of the figures are new but do feature deco enhancements or are repaints. They are NOT Carbonized, Credit Collection, Gaming Greats or Deluxe figures.
