Uwasa and movie 4.
Credit to karma_weaboo for being the first person that I remember mentioning Uwasa in the context of this movie.
Uwasa were first seen in Magia Record as magical prophecies that could have labyrinths and fuse with magical girls.
This scene shown in the first trailer for WnK features the mysterious girl who jumped off a building entering an Uwasa's labyrinth and manifesting wraiths.
Something notable about Uwasa is that they use Japanese text instead of witch runes. Another aspect of their design is the glitchy atmosphere they can have, which appears in the background of the previous image.
Uwasa Tsuruno from AniReco as an example.
As the mysterious girl falls, text asking who she is appears.
Eventually, the girl will fuse with the Uwasa, inherit Homura's magic, and attack the wraiths.
This means that the Uwasa is about Homura in some way. We can notice the symbols of Homura's salamander in the background.
As the girl destroys the wraiths around her, we can see Madoka's left eye being pasted over the skulls of the wraiths. There are also several posters in the background depicting salamanders, representing Homura. Since Uwasa are vague rumors, it makes sense that none of the posters mentions Homura directly. The text that shoots out of the wraiths when they are shot, Google-translated, reads "Why?"
There are English words on several of the posters, like: "Call me", "Betrayal", "Imbecile", and "Regress".
Tags representing the Magius appear when Nemu is summoning an Uwasa before the final battle of AniReco season 2. Similar papers appear while wraiths are being shot, but these are meant to curse the devil. Clearly, this Uwasa is about a devil (Homura) who betrayed someone (Madoka).
I'll add more later if I find anything else to mention. Thanks for reading.

Theory about a character appearing in movie 4
In the Concept Movie, a very confusing girl with tubes coming out of her head is shown in concept art form. She's obviously known as "Tube Girl". The most recent trailer had a scene with dimming red lighting where a girl who looked the most like Alina Gray of all people was visible. Alina's witch is the Tube Witch. There's a chance she's actually in this movie.

Title. Who could have hit Homura with... gold? She must have been targeted, as she is too high up in the sky for this to have been an accident.
