C-130 follow-on

Is there a plan to replace the Venerable C-130 or upgrade it to a new level
of performance?
I did at one time see a print that showed a "tilt-Wing" variant, for Extreme
short field take offs, but nothing else.
Could the Fuselage be widened to accommodate the Stryker Wheeled APV with
its add-on armor?

thank you Harley W. Daugherty

If the A400 is a "C-130 replacement", then you have to wonder why A400
customers are also buying C-130J's...
