As David Duchovny endlessly skeptical Fox Mulder so often told us, the truth is out there -- and so too is the possibility of a long-discussed continuation of The X-Files.
As nostalgic viewers might recall, The X-Files focuses on the ongoing investigations of F.B.I. agents Fox Mulder (Duchovny) and his skeptical partner, Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Grappling with the unexplained phenomenon they encounter through the agency, the two baffled government agents slowly unravel one mystery after another related to alien travelers, secret societies, and horrifying mutant serial killers.
Dominating network television throughout the 1990s, The X-Files managed to become one of the hottest sci-fi series in TV history, maintaining as iconic a place in modern pop culture as The Twilight Zone before it and Lost after it.
With up-and-coming director Ryan Coogler -- the filmmaker behind such popular projects as Black Panther, Creed and, most recently, Michael B. Jordan's Sinners -- currently eyeing a remake of the classic sci-fi series, former X-Files star Gillian Anderson has officially weighed in on Coogler's plans for a reboot.
In a recent appearance on ITV1's This Morning, the 56-year-old Emmy winner said of the reboot, "I spoke to [Coogler], and what I said was, 'If anyone were to do it, I think you are the perfect person, and best of luck."
As to whether she might reprise her role as the contemplative Agent Scully, Anderson revealed that she had told Coogler to "call me" if he had any ideas for bringing the character back to television.
"At some point, if the phone rings and it's good and it feels like the right time, perhaps,” Anderson said of her potential return to the series.
Previously, The Crown actress had teased the possibility of portraying Scully in a future reboot from Coogler. During Anderson's appearance on the Today show last year, she teased, "I think [Coogler is] really cool and I think if he did it, it would probably be done incredibly well. And maybe I’ll pop in for a little something something."
