Furthermore, he's already secured funding for three more Discovery seasons to be filmed and sneakily released on Paramount+ without informing the studio to keep the open secret it had actually been cancelled five years ago, at about the same time he was sacked.Misinformation.

I for one welcome our teary eyed whispering mistress
It’s a clever trick. So long as Kurtzman can sneak the “B” past audiences when they see “MCBU”, they’ll assume it’s Marvel and flock to theaters.
If he also manages to trick everyone into believing it’s still 2019, he’ll even turn a sizable profit on the venture.

So...how'd that go?
The guy's "sources" also said that Sony was going to buy Paramount (even I knew that was not going to happen).
Lol. Hilariously, if you look in the comments he says "To be clear this does not mean Legacy is in active development. It's simply the first step where both studios have agreed a plan and a very early time table. Long way to got yet".
For a show he's saying will be on air in 2025?
Incredible that people don't have the critical faculties to reject this as obviously bullshit.

Don't fucking give him ideas.
Multiple reliable Hollywood trades reported yesterday that the new Star Wars trilogy will be written and produced by Simon Kinberg, acclaimed writer/director of (checks memory banks...) Dark Phoenix?

Deadline and Variety have basically the same report, though note that all three treat this as reports from "sources" or "insiders" rather than any sort of press release from Lucasfilm, which has refused comment.
THR reminds us of something that I'd apparently blocked from my memory, which is that "The writer-producer is one of the busiest creatives in town, and is he’s helping to develop the rival Star Trek franchise for Paramount, a deal he stepped into this past spring."
I'd consider those sources fairly reliable, so wading more into the dubious sector, Screen Rant summarizes a recent paywalled report from puck.news report by saying:

Not sure if Puck is reliable or not, but this isn't exactly a huge leap either. Though with the most recent Trek movie being in 2016 and the most recent Wars movie being 2019, I guess anything claiming theatrical releases are coming out from either franchise are going to feel suspect.

Also worth mentioning that Kinberg fucked up adapting Dark Phoenix not once, but twice.
Perhaps everyone is looking at the fallout from the last half-dozen Star Wars movies and is wondering if it's career suicide.
Trek Culture is reporting that Kate Mulgrew told the Star Trek Cruise audience that conversations are being had around a live-action return for Janeway.
I don’t think this is really significant as she has said similar in the past, but it’s something to note in light of the Shatner comments.
