Disney’s X-Files Reboot Already Has the Perfect Secret Weapon 32 Years in the Making

Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther and Creed, is set to reboot The X-Files. While Coogler is a talented filmmaker, many fans cherish the dynamic between Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny’s characters, and a reboot risks losing that magic and feeling like a diminished version of the original. Disney clearly has confidence in Coogler following his film successes and is moving forward with a live-action remake. However, for a series like The X-Files, Disney might be better off leveraging its strengths in animation rather than pursuing another live-action adaptation.
