The X-Files star Gillian Anderson is full of praise for reboot helmer Ryan Coogler, and teases a possible return as Agent Dana Scully.
"I spoke to [Coogler], and what I said was, 'If anyone were to do it, I think you are the perfect person, and best of luck,'" Anderson said during an appearance on ITV's This Morning, adding that she told the director, "Call me."
When pressed for an answer on whether she'd actually return to The X-Files, she said, "At some point, if the phone rings and it’s good and it feels like the right time, perhaps."
Coogler's reboot was first reported in March 2023, and original series creator Chris Carter has confirmed that he won't have any involvement with it. "I just asked him what his ideas were, and he told me, and I said, 'Those sound like good ideas,'" Carter said last year. "It’s interesting, people say, 'Aren't you possessive of it?' And I say, 'No, I’m looking forward to seeing what somebody else does with it.'"
