Modern myths would provide the substance that valid contemporary updates for religions could be made of.
Could religions be more useful if we allow some of them a new mythic cycle? If each mythic narrative proves to teach us something useful about God, Spirit, morality, or philosophy?
To get to the Satya Yuga mythic cycle and ultimately the Satya Yuga (i.e. up to thousands of years of humanity at our best), I think the myths in the percolating current cycle have to have happy endings that reveal how cool and rewarding it is to be good and do what’s right. Satya Yuga media probably isn’t going to rely on deconstruction of culture (which has been dominant since the 1990s) nor the reconstitution of culture (which has become co-dominant since the 2010s, and do note that the Satya Yuga will probably feature some of the best reconstruction ever seen in media), it will be forming new narrative fictional tropes based on the new real-life myths and the real-life problem solving introduced in them, if I’m reading history correctly.
To be myths, the stories of the coming heroes have to be part of the upcoming Satya Yuga/Aquarian cycle of mythic true stories, or we else we will collectively remain in a state of decay, where we have a stale yuga and no new myths, because in that case the true story will not have transcended to become myth. It would be more like a mundane horror movie or tragedy, not a myth.
Modern myths would provide the substance that valid contemporary updates for lots of things could be made of.
