Is Ryan Coogler’s ‘The X-Files’ Reboot Still Happening?

Ryan Coogler’s ’Sinners’ with Michael B. Jordan will soon arrive. Will ’The X-Files’ reboot be next?

The Black Panther director’s next project, Sinners, will bring twin Michael B. Jordans to the big screen soon, but last year’s The X-Files clues dropped by original series creator Chris Carter are still looming. The sentimentality still runs high for that show, and remakes and reboots of beloved IP remains a controversial topic even while considering the recent successes of Amazon’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Netflix’s Cobra Kai. Those projects nailed the right angle of reentry (the first choosing a reimagining and the second favoring a sequel approach), so it’s certainly possible for The X-Files to be successfully revamped as well with Coogler in charge.
