Are there any other missions planned to study the sun in the future other than the ones we have currently?

Yes, For instance there is a NASA sponsored mission the works called PUNCH which will study CMEs and the Solar Wind. It is scheduled to launch in 2024 https://punch.space.swri.edu Scheduled to launch in the next year or two are China's ASO-S and India's Aditya-L1. There is a joint mission from Japan in partnership with Europe and the US currently named Solar-C in the works as well https://solar-c.nao.ac.jp/en/ There are also upcoming missions designed to focus on space weather prediction being planed by space weather precision agencies.
