Overview
- At an Oct. 17 Cinespia screening of Sinners in Los Angeles, Coogler said he has written material for The X-Files and that his mother has read it.
- He framed the project as a fan-respecting effort centered on his mother’s longtime love of the series.
- Coogler declined to confirm casting reports, including Danielle Deadwyler for a lead role or returns by Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny.
- No casting or production details have been announced by the studio, and the reboot remains in development following sparse updates since Chris Carter first flagged Coogler’s involvement.
- With Sinners topping $350 million worldwide and set for a Halloween re-release Oct. 30–Nov. 5, industry coverage posits the reboot could be next on his slate, though timing is unconfirmed.
