Actually yes, Toyota and BMW are discussing the 2nd gen 86, not just the ft-1/supra/z4 project, see links.

I know the FT-1 is the Supra and not a replacement for the 86 but the toyota bmw partnership is driving other changes and rumors are clearly out there that subaru might get left behind with bmw filling the void. Obviously this is all very circumstantial and nothing is official but with Subaru reupping the SVX nameplate and Toyota/BMW working closely together on a variety of projects, Tada himself saying so, there is some writing on the wall. There's also rumors out there BMW wants a smaller sports car to market below the Z4.....
