Danzig has said he wishes to avoid extensive and exhaustive touring in the future, preferring instead to focus on his various music, film and comic book projects: "I don't really want to tour. My reason for not doing it is because I'm bored of it. I like being onstage, but I don't like sitting around all day doing nothing. I could be home, working."<ref name="InvisibleOranges" /><ref name="theaquarian">{{cite news|url=http://www.theaquarian.com/2009/12/17/interview-danzig-he%e2%80%99s-the-one-he%e2%80%99s-the-one/|title=Interview with Danzig: He's The One, He's The One|last=Slevin|first=Patrick|date=December 17, 2009|newspaper=[[The Aquarian Weekly]]|access-date=March 31, 2010|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616043906/http://www.theaquarian.com/2009/12/17/interview-danzig-he%e2%80%99s-the-one-he%e2%80%99s-the-one/|archive-date=June 16, 2012 }}</ref> Danzig has started work on a third ''Black Aria'' album,<ref name="BW interview">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.bravewords.com/features/1000854|title=Danzig: On Wings of Leather and Rage|last=Small|first=Aaron|date=November 1, 2010|magazine=[[Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles]]|access-date=February 8, 2011|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101226015647/http://www.bravewords.com/features/1000854|archive-date=December 26, 2010 }}</ref> and a covers album is set for release by the end of 2013.<ref name="TheStranger">{{cite news|url=http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/sound-check/Content?oid=17555301|title=Glenn Danzig is a Macabre American Hero|last=Moorman|first=Trent|date=August 21, 2013|newspaper=[[The Stranger (newspaper)|The Stranger]]|access-date=September 4, 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130825010330/http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/sound-check/Content?oid=17555301|archive-date=August 25, 2013 }}</ref> Danzig hopes to record a dark blues album involving [[Jerry Cantrell]] and [[Hank Williams III|Hank III]].<ref name="InvisibleOranges" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/glenn_danzig_talks_20th_anniversary_tour_future_plans.html|title=Glenn Danzig Talks 20th Anniversary Tour, Future Plans|date=August 22, 2008|publisher=Ultimate-Guitar.com|access-date=March 31, 2010|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100408100408/http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interviews/glenn_danzig_talks_20th_anniversary_tour_future_plans.html|archive-date=April 8, 2010 }}</ref> He is currently working on new Danzig material with [[Tommy Victor]] and [[Johnny Kelly]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://loudwire.com/glenn-danzig-25th-anniversary-debut-danzig-album-upcoming-covers-disc-more/ |title=Glenn Danzig Talks 25th Anniversary of Debut Danzig Album, Upcoming Covers Disc + More |publisher=[[Loudwire]].com |date=April 23, 2013 |access-date=May 1, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130502010607/http://loudwire.com/glenn-danzig-25th-anniversary-debut-danzig-album-upcoming-covers-disc-more/ |archive-date=May 2, 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=189312 |title=Glenn Danzig Talks To Full Metal Jackie About 'Legacy' TV Special, Covers Record, New Music |work=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=April 28, 2013 |access-date=May 1, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130809173501/http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=189312 |archive-date=August 9, 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/danzig-recording-new-material/ |title=Danzig Recording New Music |work=[[Blabbermouth.net]] |date=February 20, 2014 |access-date=February 21, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140302030924/http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/danzig-recording-new-material/ |archive-date=March 2, 2014 }}</ref>

In 2014, Danzig filed a lawsuit against Misfits bassist [[Jerry Only]] claiming Only registered trademarks for everything Misfits-related in 2000 behind Danzig's back, misappropriating exclusive ownership over the trademarks for himself, including the band's iconic "Fiend Skull" logo, violating a 1994 contract the two had. Danzig claims that after registering the trademarks, Only secretly entered into deals with various merchandisers and cut him out of any potential profits in the process.<ref>{{cite news|title=GLENN DANZIG Sues MISFITS' JERRY ONLY Over HOT TOPIC Deal|work=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|date=May 7, 2014|url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/glenn-danzig-sues-misfits-jerry-only-over-hot-topic-deal/#l0JTEvMLUoU3BSYx.99|access-date=May 7, 2014|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508030723/http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/glenn-danzig-sues-misfits-jerry-only-over-hot-topic-deal/#l0JTEvMLUoU3BSYx.99|archive-date=May 8, 2014 }}</ref> On August 6, 2014, a U.S. district judge in California dismissed Danzig's lawsuit.<ref>{{cite web |date=August 12, 2014 |title=Glenn Danzig Bitch Slapped By Judge: No Hot Topic Money For You! |url=http://www.re-tox.com/2014/08/12/glenn-danzig-lawsuit-jerry-only-hot-topic/ |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140817222631/http://www.re-tox.com/2014/08/12/glenn-danzig-lawsuit-jerry-only-hot-topic/ |archive-date=August 17, 2014 |publisher=re-tox.com}}</ref>
