I just like the name. I’m satisfied with every D4 class so far and that would hit the spot. He would be paladin themed of course.

In the future probably yes.
Will they run around and hoard treasure, being that the more gold they have accumulated the more powerful they become? I totes needs me a Nic Cage character…

Could we get a class of that name? Sure it’s possible.
However whether it’d be from the same order of Templars as Kormac, would be anyone’s guess. Although I’m guessing it’d be a no, since the Templar order that Kormac was from was mostly destroyed by the end of D3 RoS.
No because they’re weak-af. Crusaders are the elite. Regressing to Templar or even Paladin would be boring.
We have no clue what has happened in the 20+ years since the end of RoS. All the holy knights could have merged and reformed a new order calling themselves Templars. Id bank on the class being called Paladin when it comes to light.
Which is why I said, it’s possible for there to be a templar class. Only that I doubt it’d be from the same order as Kormac’s since that was destroyed, as such it’d be a new order of Templar.
Might even have Kormac as Grandmaster for some fan service. 
Just as we might see some students from Eirena in the world if devs wanna go there, with her wanting to create a new circle at end of her storyline in D3.
Not sure if I would like that, but it is a way to give some continuation from D3 into D4 and some closure of stories that ended too soon since we miss an expansion or two to this game, to include them as some side stories in the world of D4 of how it finished up, without heavily focussing on it.

Or you could choose to side whit one of these orders remaining forces, and have coresponding skills and abilities, just like the Rouge.
We already had templer in D3. He is annoying.
On serious note. Why have templer when we already has Paladin and crusader ?
Not fan of “same” class but different name
The most amazing part of your post is you actually know the names of the templer and enchantress.
Some people actually do play the campaign. It is fun to go through with a fresh season HC character, when your SC seasonal char is out of progress options if play solo, due to fact you will never get enough paragon to meaningfully progress at a certain point.

Yeah, that definitely can happen assuming that D4 doesn’t take too many decades after D3, and that Kormac or Eirena hadn’t yet been killed before they formed their respective groups.
Personally I think either of the following (or perhaps a bit of a mix) might end up happening for the followers.
Kormac, Lyndon, and Eirena ended up forming a massive group: (based on the description of season 23)
After the events of D3 RoS, Kormac, Lyndon, and Eirena united together and recruited a large number of disciples who would learn skills, techniques, tatics, knowledge, and beliefs that Kormac, Lyndon, and Eirena had acquired throughout their journey with the Nephalem. In time the followers would establish an order, with the three serving as the founders. This order would strive to defend Sanctuary and serve as an ally to the Horadrim. Similarly to many other groups and orders, this order would also be in decline by the time of D4.
Kormac, Lyndon, and Eirena go their separate ways
After the events of D3 RoS, Kormac, Lyndon, and Eirena go their separate ways in order to achieve their goals. Kormac goes off to find remnant members of the Templar order in order to free them from their mental bondage or kill them if necessary, then remake the Templar order under a new system and run it justly as the Grand Maester. Lyndon goes to track down his sister-in-law and confront her over the death of his brother. If Lyndon survives the confrontation, then he’d likely go and find his brother’s children and raise them himself. Lastly Eirena starts a new sisterhood to continue the teachings of the prophet and pass it down for future generations.
Kormac, Lyndon, and/or Eirena were killed (or corrupted) prior to the events of D4
In an attempt of reducing the number of people willing and capable of fighting for Sanctuary’s defense against the forces of Hell, The Triune (with or without Lilith’s aid) could’ve enacted plots to kill (or corrupt) any champions who could’ve posed a threat against their plans; this would include the followers.

I think we will cross paths with Lyndon in D4 given how his Follower quest left on a cliffhanger. Did he get killed after facing that mysterious someone (eh trying to avoid spoilers) or formed a group of rogues and bandits himself? Since we will see male rogues, it’s not a far fetched idea that Lyndon trained some bandits.
Unless Eirena is killed we could see her too, because she never ages anyway. No idea about Kormac and I don’t think they would reveal him before expansion to introduce Crusader or Paladin class once again. Perhaps we get to see Eirena in despair because Kormac has been lost or traveled to reform his order.

I am not sure I hope we run into them, if remember right D4 plays a few decades later so we might though.
I was more thinking we might learn about them through others like for example new sisters trained by her that tell her story during a quest or Lyndon maybe through a quest with a thieves guild tells us how that story ended with that note, could even be a lore book you can pick up somewhere in game or a series like the introduction of crusaders in D3. I would not mind those books turning up again in D4.
I’ve asked this question before and it makes perfect sense to have the Templar as a player class.
A: Already had the Paladin (D2)
B: Already had the Crusader (D3)
C: It’s really the only class that will be ‘new,’ plus it fits in the lore.
Maybe it will be part of an expansion when they F I N A L L Y bring in the Amazon.
Or maybe it will be a stand along DLC, aka an experiment, to see the players’ reactions.
I am up for it. I would welcome playing the third branch of The Order of the Zakarum.
Who knows they might have turned into one branch by the time of D4, something recognizable but new after a few crusaders and paladins met up and taught each other their skills as brothers in the Zakarum faith or an old crusader whose apprentice died took a young paladin or Templar as his apprentice since less time to train him needed. If devs can pleasantly surprise me and it makes some sense without me going who believes that, I will take that.

That’s an idea. I like it. The Order of the Zakarum fell, but the ‘idea’ didn’t so there are still followers of the faith. What’s left of the Paladins, Crusaders, and Templars banded together and become Holy Knights of the Light.
Those that stayed in or around the church, aka NPC’s could stay Holy Knights. Those that chose a life of adventure or to spread the Light far and wide could be Light Bringers.
I am sure the devs and creative minds at Blizz, especially if they are old school gamer nerds, are thinking of a way to bring in another holy class.
Maybe it could be a 2 class DLC or expansion pack.
Holy Knight (or some other name) would focus more along the lines of sword and shield combat with either a minor amount of holy abilities since they are still ‘holy warriors’ or absolutely none at all and they just carry the ‘word’ of light/faith for the Church of Light.
Light Bringer (or some other name) would focus heavily on holy powers with either a minor amount of sword and board as supplement or absolutely none at all since they are the full embodiment of the light/faith, the true believers for the Church of Light.
Edit.
Still, I like the idea of the Templar getting a shot since the Paladins and Crusaders had their chance.

Also keep in mind they are nephalim and the power is unbound, so even if a warrior of the light they would not have to depend per se on Heavens or gods like Ythar or Zakarum for their powers even if they might model them after them and use them in their name. Since we have to go up against Lilith I am not that sure we can rely on the Gods who are partly her children to supply the power and Heavens have closed their doors.
So any holy warrior better brings something him/herself independent of sources from outside, whatever the class will be.
Edit: On a slightly off tangent since D4 plays a bit later it should also mean we will start to find more and more awakened nephalem in Sanctuary even if not everyone would be super strong. Our D3 Nephalem was an equal to Uldysis and that was kinda super rare even in distant past according to the campaign. Though I guess our D4 hero in the end will be likely about same level unless they make it more the group as is D2 canon or we go the usual power creep in those kind of stories and in D8 are more powerful as ANU.
Assuming they hadn’t been killed and maybe only three five decades at most had passed, then yes we’ll likely see the followers in D4. However, if six or more decades had passed, then they would’ve likely had died of old age (including Eirena as she supposedly still ages).
That actually would be nice. For example we could learn of Lyndon’s fate through a series of side quests where we actually team up a bit with his nephews and nieces (who would be grown adults). Through the quests we could learn that Lyndon’s sister-in-law was a member of another thieves group and had killed Lyndon’s brother in order to silence him and plotted to kill Lyndon as well (hence why she sent the note). Lyndon would later track her down in a secluded area, in which she’d reveal to be a trap in which she had numerous thieves and assassins surrounding Lyndon. In the end Lyndon dies from the ambush, but not before killing his sister-in-law, as well as taking down a large number of assailants.
Yes, lore books would be nice to have in D4.
