‘Sinners’ Director Ryan Coogler Teases ‘X-Files’ Series Reboot, Confirms He’s Spoken With Original Star Gillian Anderson


'Sinners' writer-director Ryan Coogler says he's turning his attention to developing a series reboot of 'The X-Files' as his next project.

“I’ve been excited about that for a long time and I’m fired up to get back to it,” Coogler said during a recent interview with “Last Podcast onthe Left,” confirming that that project is “immediately next” on his slate. Coogler was first reported to be developing an “X-Files” series back in 2023, when series creator and showrunner Chris Carter confirmed that the two have had conversations about remounting the supernatural detecivde drama, which starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, who were assigned to investigate reports of paranormal activity. “She’s incredible and fingers crossed there,” he said, explaining that Anderson was finishing up work on “Tron: Ares” the last time they talked.
