The X Files is getting the reboot treatment, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Ryan Coogler is said to be behind it. Or, at least, that's what the show's creator, Chris Carter, hinted at during a recent appearance on the CBC radio show On the Coast With Gloria Macarenko.
After touching on the show's upcoming 30th anniversary, Carter told the host: "I just spoke to a young man, Ryan Coogler, who is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast."
He also went on to say that the filmmaker has "his work cut out for him" with the revival, given how the world is even more steeped in conspiracy theories than it was when the original series aired between 1991 and 2002.
"This is it for me, I'm really serious," Anderson said during a Television Critics Association panel back in 2018. "I have so much respect for these guys but I'm finished, and thats the end of that. I like to be challenged as an actor and I like to do many many characters. It's time for me to hang up Scully's hat, it just is. The next couple of years are quite full. There's lots of things I want to do in my life and my career," she continued. "I don't want to be tied down to months and months of any particular one thing."
