If the anime continues, I wouldn't mind a new filler arc IF it's made to take place before the 1000 Year Blood War arc starts so that it fits into the timeline logically, and the story is good, with one or more villains who has a logical reason to do what they do, and the whole filler arc seem logical.

If it was to be done, they could have adapted the villain Arturo Plateado from the video game Bleach: Shattered Blade. The self-made Arrancar who set out to annihilate the Soul Society all alone. I think it could have been interesting to see an anime version of that.

But whatever they did with a possible filler arc, it would have to be made before the 1000 Year Blood War was animated, and being non-canon, all characters like captains and lieutenants and others who have roles in the manga would have to survive, obviously.
