Black Panther‘s Ryan Coogler is developing a “diverse” reboot of the classic sci-fi drama The X-Files, original series creator Chris Carter said in a recent Canadian podcast.
“I just spoke to a young man, Ryan Coogler, who is going to remount The X-Files with a diverse cast,” Carter said. “So he’s got his work cut out for him, because we covered so much territory.”
A rep for 20th Television, which produced the original series and its recent two-season revival, declined comment.
In related news, an animated comedy spinoff of the original series is not moving forward at Fox.
