Looks like he working on this next
Speaking on a recent episode of Last Podcast on the Left (via Screen Rant), Coogler said he plans to hit the ground running, working on The X-Files once the dust has settled from his Sinners press tour.

“I’m working on X-Files. That’s what’s immediately next,” Coogler said. “So, I’ve been excited about that for a long time, and I’m fired up to get back to it, and that, you know, some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really fukking scary.”

While not much is known about what Coogler’s take on the iconic sci-fi series will be, show creator Chris Carter previously said the Black Panther director plans to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast.

:francis: I’ll support it but I just wish this wasn’t an X-Files Reboot. But he did rebooted Rocky and we gotten Creed from it. So maybe lightning strikes twice, wish bro the best. At least call it something else tho.

No way a modern xfiles could touch og. Hes dope but na. Perfectly cast show. Perfect setup for years.

They would NEVER hit on that irl conspiracy shyt ever again. It would come off like a modern thriller without the irl setups.

That first ep real ep after pilot they go out together to the air force base, mulder and pilot come back with brain erased. Guys eating fishfood. shyt wss scary.

Creator was obviously up on all the conspiracies of the day because his show read like it came off of the pages of behold a pale horse. They were brand new conspiracies they put the light on that became part of pop culture. Thatd never happen today… no way with how conspiracies are banned from popular internet because of “fake news”.

Itll be way light and generic thriller. If old xfiles were made today theird be an epstein island ep, israel, demons, illuminati aka too many REAL conspiracies. They played up oklahoma city and everything.


But with that said. Of COURSE i wan see it. Xfiles deserves twilight zone type long form comeback like star trek etc. Its a real classic. Should be a new one every gen but they cant skimp on the reality.

Its hard to have new characters take over a franchise. They need to be interesting characters not just a rehash of the old ones. It would be cool if they had Mulder & Scully in new positions - Scully now head of the FBI or something, and Mulder feeding the new agents info from the shadows.

I hope its good either way, one of my favorite shows.

Yeah this is feeling like when Jordan Peele started feeling himself a went off and did a mid Twilight Zone reboot.

I think the biggest issue with any continuation is the OG series set up some end time stakes with specific dates and when you get the later rehashes be they movies or mini series, whenever they're not addressing those dire happening right now global takeover issues, it all feels besides the point.

If they're not going to do a full reboot, I feel they should have the new people unearth the X-Files after all this time and discover in the digging that Mulder and Scully really did stave off the end times in the middle of them running into fluke men and ghosts and shyt. Them discovering the events of the OG series is the new overarching mythology of this new series between their own monsters of the week.
