Director Ryan Coogler has confirmed that he will be rebooting The X-Files, expressing excitement about the project and the potential return of Gillian Anderson. Coogler, known for his work on Black Panther and Creed, aims to create a series that appeals to both original fans and new viewers. The reboot will move away from the iconic characters Mulder and Scully, but Coogler hopes to incorporate them in some capacity. His recent film, Sinners, has received critical acclaim for its storytelling and connection to blues music.
