Ryan Coogler Has Spoken To Gillian Anderson About ‘X Files’ Reboot: “Fingers Crossed There”


Following 'Sinners', Ryan Coogler revealed that his upcoming 'The X Files' reboot is next on his schedule.

Ryan Coogler recently gave an update on his upcoming reboot of The X Files, which he revealed is “immediately next” for him, noting that he’s “spoken to the great Gillian Anderson ” about the series. Originally running for nine seasons from 1993 to 2002, The X Files starred Anderson and David Duchovny as FBI Special Agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, who are tasked with investigating cases of the paranormal. “So, he’s got his work cut out for him because we covered so much territory,” said Carter on the On the Coast podcast, acknowledging that a modern update in which the characters investigate the paranormal would look different as “we’re steeped in conspiracies” today.
