Hollywood's visionary wunderkind Ryan Coogler has finally shattered his sphinx-like silence on the whispers that have ricocheted through fan forums for months. The maestro behind Wakanda's cinematic revolution and Creed's knockout revival now sets his directorial crosshairs on The X-Files, a series that dives deep into paranormal investigations. Fandoms collectively gasped as Coogler's revelations about his The X-Files plans sent anticipation meters into overdrive, promising a fresh take on the beloved franchise that has everyone hooked on the supernatural.

The director’s jump from superheroes to aliens has sparked buzz crazier than a Sherlock Holmes plot, with the hype around his The X-Files reboot reaching out-of-this-world levels and getting fans seriously excited.

In a surprise plot twist, Ryan Coogler's X project is not mutants but aliens, as he has officially boarded a reboot of The X-Files. During his guest spot on Last Podcast on the Left, the filmmaker bubbled with enthusiasm, saying, "I’m fired up to get back to it," promising that the reboot will feature episodes that are "really fu--ing scary" if done right. This confirmation validates Chris Carter's cryptic breadcrumbs when the original creator tantalizingly hinted at Coogler's involvement and the show's refreshingly diverse ensemble.

Between paranormal pursuits, Ryan Coogler juggles promotional duties for his critical darling Sinners, currently boasting an eye-popping 99% Certified Fresh badge on Rotten Tomatoes. The filmmaker surprisingly credited Puss in Boots: The Last Wish as inspiration, particularly its bone-chilling personification of Death. Post-spooky investigations, Wakanda beckons again, Black Panther 3 looms on the horizon with Hollywood royalty Denzel Washington confirmed for a role, as the legendary actor himself revealed during a November interview.

As Ryan Coogler delves into paranormal mysteries, his The X-Files reboot promises chills and thrills, while the ghost of Chris Carter’s original vision lingers, beckoning the return of Agent Scully.

The supernatural torch passes with a celestial blessing as original The X-Files architect Chris Carter publicly championed Ryan Coogler's vision for the paranormal investigation series. Despite stepping back from direct involvement, Carter's enthusiastic endorsement carries significant weight among the show's devoted truth-seekers. Though production details remain mysteriously classified, Coogler has expressed keen interest in coaxing original star Gillian Anderson back into skeptical scientist mode, keeping “fingers crossed” for Agent Scully’s potential return to paranormal duty, as he shared in the same podcast episode where he confirmed The X-Files reboot as his next big project.

Although Gillian Anderson has been hesitant to reprise her role as Agent Dana Scully in the past, she has shown a willingness to consider Ryan Coogler's vision for The X-Files reboot. Describing Coogler as a bit of a genius, Anderson hinted that she might be open to a cameo if the direction of the project resonates with her. This potential collaboration has sparked further excitement among fans eager to see the iconic characters return in a fresh new way.
