Ryan Coogler is developing a new take on “The X-Files.”
Original series creator Chris Carter made the revelation during an interview with “On The Coast with Gloria Macarenko” to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “The X-Files.” During the interview, Carter said, “I just spoke to a young man, Ryan Coogler, who is going to remount ‘The X-Files’ with a diverse cast. So he’s got his work cut out for him, because we covered so much territory.”
Reps for Coogler did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment. 20th Television, the studio behind the original series, declined to comment.
Coogler would be developing the project under his five-year overall deal with Walt Disney Television, of with 20th TV is a part. Coogler is best known for writing and directing the two “Black Panther” films for Marvel as well as for his work on the three “Creed” films with Michael B. Jordan. Coogler also wrote and directed the critically-acclaimed feature “Fruitvale Station,” which also starred Jordan.

I loved the X-Files. I'm not usually big on remakes, but I am interested to see what he does with it.
Nice! I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Congrats!
A show I wouldn’t mind seeing a reboot of, with fresh new agents of course. It could work.
Cannot wait!! I wonder what conspiracies they'll cover...
Cooooooool!
whatever
These filmmakers have no creativity. That's why they resort to remakes. Leave well enough alone.
He's talented so I'll give it a chance. X Files is one of the greatest tv shows in modern history. I still watch it on hulu every weekend hopefully Mr. Coogler does something awesome.
