What did Gillian Anderson say about the X-Files reboot?

During a chat on ITV1’s This Morning, Anderson mentioned that she has discussed the reboot with Ryan Coogler. According to her, she highly appreciates Coogler’s work, and if given the opportunity to be part of the series, it could potentially happen.

Anderson mentioned that he had a conversation with someone, and in that conversation, he expressed, “If anyone were to take on this task, I believe you are the ideal candidate, and I wish you the best of luck.

I’ve always taken on the role of Agent Dana Scully in the epic saga that is The X-Files. I’ve been a team player with David Duchovny, portraying his character, Agent Fox Mulder, as our dynamic duo explored the unexplained.

As a gamer, I’m diving headfirst into the X-Files project. That’s what’s up next on my gaming console, and let me tell you, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this for quite some time now. I can’t wait to get back to it, and if we do our jobs correctly, some of the episodes will give you a serious scare!

Back in 2021, I was thrilled when I heard the whispers of a new X-Files chapter being brewed, as Ryan Coogler’s production company, Proximity, sealed a five-year pact with Disney for creating TV content across their networks and streaming services. The thought of diving back into that paranormal mystery world was already giving me goosebumps!

In 2023, Chris Carter, the mastermind behind The X-Files, revealed plans for a multi-ethnic ensemble, while in 2024, he announced his departure from the project, expressing his enthusiasm and support for its continued success.

First broadcast in 1993, “The X-Files” featured David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.
