Creator Chris Carter has offered a promising update regarding the upcoming 'The X-Files' reboot, which is being developed by Ryan Coogler. Carter suggested that original stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson might reprise their iconic roles as Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. He shared this possibility ahead of the release of the director's cut of 'The X-Files: I Want to Believe', though he stressed it was not an official confirmation.
Carter also indicated that he has not yet seen Coogler's version of the series, leaving the potential synergy between projects uncertain. He is considering whether Coogler's reboot and his own ideas for the franchise might compete or complement each other. Carter remains enthusiastic about continuing 'The X-Files' himself, expressing a desire to create either another reboot or a new movie with significant ideas.
The original 'X-Files' series premiered in 1993, running for nine seasons and later returning for two additional seasons in 2016 and 2018. The franchise has also spawned two feature films. Meanwhile, Ryan Coogler is also preparing 'Black Panther III', slated for a December 15, 2028 release, where he will write and direct.
