Five years have passed since the tenth and eleventh seasons of "The X-Files" came to a close, and fans are eager to know what's next for the iconic franchise. While "The X-Files: Albuquerque" was announced as an animated spinoff comedy series in 2020, a recent interview with the show's creator, Chris Carter, has hinted at an entirely new project involving "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler.

During a conversation with On the Coast With Gloria Macarenko, Carter revealed that he had spoken to Coogler about "remounting The X-Files with a diverse cast." While this is the first time Coogler's involvement with the franchise has been mentioned, it has already caused excitement among fans.

Carter's statement suggests that Coogler's project will be separate from "The X-Files: Albuquerque," which has already been given a script commitment with Rocky Russo and Jeremy Sosenko attached to write the pilot episode and executive produce. However, it is not clear whether the animated series is still in the works.

Ryan Coogler is a critically acclaimed filmmaker who has been twice nominated for Academy Awards. He first made his mark with the 2013 film "Fruitvale Station" and later directed both "Creed" and the "Black Panther" films.

Fans of "The X-Files" will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipating any further news about Coogler's involvement in the franchise. As more information becomes available, we will continue to report on this exciting development.
