Ryan Coogler Confirms X-Files Reboot in the Works, Hints at Gillian Anderson’s Return: ‘Fingers Crossed…’

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but exclaim: “She’s simply amazing! Here’s hoping,” was the sentiment expressed by the director of Creed (2015). He further shared during his podcast that the X-Files reboot is on my agenda, and it appears to be next in line for me.

Continuing the conversation, Ryan Coogler expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I’ve been looking forward to this for quite some time now, and I can hardly wait to dive back into it. If we do our work correctly, some of these episodes could be truly terrifying.

Speaking enthusiastically, Coogler stated that he intends to produce an outstanding series, one that keeps established X-Files fans hooked and appeals to those just joining the fanbase.

In my perspective as an ardent follower, after having a fascinating chat with Ryan Coogler, Gillian Anderson expressed her thoughts that there’s no better approach for a reboot to materialize than what he has in mind. Furthermore, she acknowledged Coogler’s extraordinary genius.

As for my direct participation, that’s a story for another day, but let me assure you, I haven’t shut the door on this incredible opportunity. You can bet your last dollar that I might just pop up somewhere within the magical world of this series!

Anderson played the role of FBI Special Agent Dana Scully opposite David Duchovny’s character Fox Mulder on The X-Files for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, and she reprised her part in both the film adaptations and its revival from 2016 to 2018.
