Ryan Coogler's X-Files revival reportedly remains in the works
Title: Ryan Coogler's X-Files Reboot: A Fresh Take on the Iconic Series
Hey there, folks!ever heard about the exciting news surrounding Ryan Coogler's upcoming projects? Apart from his vampire thriller, Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, Coogler plans to dive headfirst into an X-Files reboot and is incredibly pumped about it!
Speaking on Last Podcast on the Left, Coogler confirmed that this long-awaited reboot will be his next move. The focus is going to be on delivering an exhilarating and downright terrifying viewing experience for the fans. He stated, "I'm working on X-Files. That's what's immediately next. So, I've been excited about that for a long time, and I'm fired up to get back to it..."
Although details regarding Coogler's vision for the series are still scarce, show creator Chris Carter previously mentioned that Coogler plans to revamp The X-Files with a more diverse cast. One thing is for certain, Coogler's reputation for injecting fresh energy into familiar stories, whether it's Marvel superheroes or the timeless allure of bloodsuckers, is solid.
It's been a bit since we've seen Agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder cure the world of alien/government conspiracies. The last revival graced our screens during 2018. Since then, Gillian Anderson has been noncommittal about reprising her role as Scully, but she hasn't exactly slammed the door in Coogler's face, either. Back in 2024, Anderson expressed her admiration for Coogler's work and left the possibility of a return somewhat open, stating, "Maybe I'll pop in for a little something something..."
While Anderson's involvement may not be a guarantee, Coogler has not lost hope of having her on board. He shared in the same podcast that he's spoken with Anderson and described her as "incredible." The implication is that they're working together to create a reboot worthy of the real X-Files fans, and maybe even some new ones.
In terms of the reboot's timeline, Coogler will focus on the X-Files project once he wraps up his promotional duties for Sinners.
