After this, I think they will try and jump right into the Marley arc as soon as possible. I don't know how long the break between seasons will be but the big issue that could pop up is the dreaded slew of 'filler episodes'. Because the Marley arc is still ongoing and the longest arc so far (to my knowledge), there's always the fear that the anime will try and condense more chapters into one episode to try and catch up. That will leave them throwing out filler after filler episodes to try and buy themselves time while Isayama works on the next issue. It happened with One Piece during the 'Dressrosa Arc' and it dragged on for far too long; I don't want it to see it happen here. I am pretty sure after the Return to Shiganshina arc in the anime. They are gonna take a break until the manga has reached its conclusion, as you said the Marley Arc is probably the longest arc thus far and its gonna take some time & trimming the fat to make it work for a season 4 without using too much filler.
