Iron Will will return to Catoctin Furnace as part of the Iron Festival in May 2026. Set in October 1780, this year's play will explore the story of a diverse group of immigrants and slaves forging weapons for the American Revolutionary Government.

Reiner's next literary project is a fantasy/sci-fi trilogy titled, Twilight of the Mountain Gods. The novel that comprises Part I will be The Embers of War. Still in the world-building phase, the first novel should be published by the end of the decade. Long-term plans include a graphic novel for each of the books in the trilogy.
