All the females have a tremendous rack... except Maya and Hikari.
But that's part of their charm!

Kensuke is a military otaku who, at one point, is shown creepily taking pictures of girls to sell. He would clearly fit right in as an animator at Studio Gainax. -- Compiling_Autumn
EoTV is a therapist, EoE is a drill instructor. -- Chuckman
Seriously, that is the most fananked theory I've ever heard, more than Mari being Marty McFly travelling through time to keep her parents (Asushin) together. -- Jäeger

After the end of 4.0, there will be a congratulations scene. Those watching the movie in theaters will be given a segment of bonus footage: hundreds Misato, Asuka, and Rei lookalikes will enter the movie theater through various doors around the theater and give each and every audience member a lapdance, followed by whatever comes after that. It will end up in a gigantic 4.0 orgy of Instrumentality proportions. The end.

Oh it WILL happen eventually. Maybe not for another 10 or twenty years, but it will happen, and we will enjoy hating how terrible and unfaithful to the source material it is. Or at least I will.
Anyway, Timeskip Manga or anime? Do we have to wait until 4.0 for info on the time skip. Like we had to wait for Episode III for Star Wars The Clone Wars cartoon?

If Eva is still a thing in 10 or 20 years, then sure. Though, if it still generates enough interest to attract the eye of Hollywood after that long, as opposed to some other Japanese studio (Toho Co. or something), then I would be really surprised.
Speaking of live-action Eva, we’ve technically already seen that. And I don’t just mean Pacific Rim. This scene was trimmed down and placed inside The End of Evangelion as a dream scene of sorts. I know it might be completely implausible given FINAL’s budget and/or contrary to any visual aesthetic that Anno might be aiming for, but I think it would be kinda cool for the exposition of the 14-year time skip to be filmed in live-action as opposed to animated.
I mean, Cutie Honey had all of their flashbacks presented in animation form. I get why Anno did it for Honey and how it’s different from using the reverse technique for flashback in FINAL as opposed to simply a dream scene of an alternate reality, but if Anno reworks the motivation behind his live-action visuals and decides to keep the emotional emotion of Misato and Asuka very limited within terms of sets and locations, for FINAL, I can see it happening.

I don't think anybody with the right kind of pull is interested in Eva as a live action, Hollywood film. If you explained the story to a bunch of executives they'd toss you out on your ass, after asking questions like, "Is there a big fight at the end?" and "Which girl does he get with?"
Someone like a Cameron or Nolan or Schneider or Spielberg could get it through, but I've never heard of anyone in that league taking an interest in it. Cameron has been sitting on a Battle Angel Alita adaptation for about twenty five years.
I wish I lived in the universe where LAEM was in production, executive produced by Robin Williams and directed by Ridley Scott with Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich as second unit directors, written by Frank Darabont.
Alas it shall never be.

At this point I almost wish LAEM would just happen so it could be cast, made, released, suck & forever be forgotten in most conversations. The fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender seem to have been able to move on after M. Night's travesty.
Anywho, a project is never REALLY dead in Hollywood. Batman Vs. Superman was "in production" for almost two decades until the right shitty circumstances came together for Zack Snyder to "treat us" with his flick a few years from now. All LAEM needs to work is some numbers guy to make some connections between a few current blockbuster hits to warrant the existence of the film.
As for what's next after Rebuild:
Whatever it is Anno & the original core creative most likely won't be involved so I'd prefer something that takes place in the Eva universe but is drastically removed from the original Eva cast & story. Like how Diebuster took place thousands of years after Gunbuster or (back to Avatar stuff) how The Legend of Korra is about the generation after the original series.
I love the Eva cast & I know they're the selling point merchandise wise but if there's any value to be add with this universe after Hideaki Anno leaves it'll need to be something unique & original. Not a pointless "fill in the blanks of the missing 14 years" or more stupid spin-off mangas about the female Eva characters - & Kaworu - getting wet over a nondescript version of Shinji.

The ideal thing would be handing over writing and direction of the Evangelion live action movie to me. I think I could bring it in at about two hours and forty-five minutes.

Honestly, though, I feel like "Why even make it Evangelion?" at that point. Just make it a new IP if you're going to make a sequel without the main cast.
The way I see it there's three types of stories left to tell in the main universes: What happens before the series/Rebuild, what happens immediately after the series/Rebuild, and what happens during the timeskip in Rebuild. The only other story I can see that possibly exists is the events of the series/Rebuild from another cast member's perspective (but even that we get so much of already it might be redundant).
Sure you can jump 50-1000 years in the future and tell the story of the next generation and how they face some new and/or unique threat, but why? Those characters don't exist, no one cares about them. No one's emotionally invested in them. What good do they serve to be a part of the Evangelion franchise? Nothing that I can see. In fact, as far as I'm concerned they do harm. If someone came out and made Evangelion 2: Electric Boogaloo with a new cast, that would immediately shove all the original characters out of the spotlight and into the closet. Suddenly the side stories and spin offs would all focus on the new characters, not the old. The figures would be new characters, the merchandise would be new characters, the deals with other corporations like visa or cars or horse races or w/e would be new characters.
Certain other franchises I'd agree, ones that are world driven instead of character driven, but not Eva.
You know you have some fucked up characters when a screenshot of them smiling is the biggest piece of fanservice possible in the series. - Anonymous

Eva will more than likely continue after Final. We've got several different variations of the TMNT, Transformers, Power Rangers, and Batman in various movies, TV Shows, comics, cartoons, and books. It's probably going to be the same thing with Eva. People who genuinely love the source will get their hands on it and give their own take on the same story. For better or for worse.
If people are still willing to pay money for it, they will make more. Thats just the nature of franchises. Evangelion included.
