X-Files creator Chris Carter is eyeing a Ryan Coogler reboot
Chris Carter, the creator of The X-Files, is looking forward to the upcoming reboot of the iconic series from director Ryan Coogler, known for his work on Black Panther. In a recent interview with Inverse, Carter expressed his excitement about the project and revealed that he’s looking forward to seeing how Coogler revives the beloved show.
While some fans have expressed concerns about the reboot, Carter is optimistic about the new direction Coogler will take. He noted that he had productive conversations with Coogler about his vision for the series, which left him satisfied and supportive of the project. Carter emphasized that he is not proprietary about The X-Files and is genuinely interested in seeing other people’s creative take on it.
Carter acknowledged the challenges Coogler faced in bringing The X-Files to life, particularly in terms of casting and production. However, he expressed confidence in Coogler’s ability to overcome these challenges and make the reboot a success.
One aspect Carter emphasized is the unique perspective Coogler will bring to the series, especially in today’s context where conspiracy theories abound and truth is often subjective. He noted that Coogler will shed new light on these themes and add an intriguing dimension to the reboot.
The X-Files originally aired in 1993 and has become a cult classic, following FBI special agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully as they investigate paranormal phenomena. Carter’s creation was wildly popular during its original run and has since spawned two revival seasons and two feature films.
While a release date for the reboot has yet to be announced, fans can expect a new version of The X-Files with Coogler at the helm. As the series prepares for its revival, Carter remains supportive of the project and is excited to see how it develops under Coogler’s direction.
