Just wondering if the Daz characters will be available for the new New UE5 Mannequins for retargeting.

Yes you can retarget them. You can use IK Rigs to setup bone chains for the Genesis skeleton as well as the UE Mannequin skeleton (in fact the Mannequin comes with one setup already). Then use an IK Retargeter to retarget the animations. This video does a good job of explaining:

That will get your animations retargeted. However the new Mannequin is also doing stuff with IK bones and control rig, which I haven't looked into yet, but I imagine in order to get that stuff working you'd need to open up the Mannequin control rig and change some naming conventions to match the Daz armature.
Daztounreal v5.0.0.68 contains retargeting assets for UE5.
