Filmmaker Ryan Coogler has garnered significant acclaim for his recent feature film, "Sinners," which has generated considerable buzz during the awards season. This successful movie, starring his frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan, has already secured Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards. Furthermore, it has received a record-breaking 16 nominations for the upcoming Academy Awards. "Sinners" is praised for its unique blend of vampire horror, soul music, and supernatural evil, achieving both critical acclaim and commercial success. Coogler's impressive filmography includes blockbusters like "Black Panther," "Wakanda Forever," and the "Creed" franchise, establishing a solid track record of delivering mind-bending narratives with hard-hitting themes, even within the superhero genre.

With such a consistent history of success, fans are eagerly anticipating Coogler's next projects. Among his several interesting upcoming ventures is the highly-anticipated reboot of "The X-Files." This iconic sci-fi drama, originally starring Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, is beloved for its thrilling "monster of the week" format and its overarching alien lore. Coogler's involvement has set a high bar, with audiences keen to see his creative vision for the series. While updates on the project have been scarce, Coogler recently offered insight into the writing process for the reboot.

He shared that he is "in deep now" with the writing, noting that some days are productive while others are challenging. "Today's a good day," he remarked, adding, "Been a lot of days that weren't so good." Coogler also expressed the anxiety associated with completing the draft and revealed that Vince Gilligan, an executive producer on the original "X-Files" series, provided him with valuable advice. Coogler stated, "There are times when I wish that I could separate and have a day where I'm not anxious about having to deliver the draft. Vince gave me a couple hours of advice over Zoom and answered all the questions I had — I've got them all in my notebook, and I go back to it often."

Regarding what to expect from Ryan Coogler's "X-Files" reboot, horror is a definitive element. Although specific details remain limited, Coogler previously indicated that some episodes would be genuinely scary. "I'm working on X-Files, bro. That's what's immediately next. I've been excited about that for a long time, and I'm fired up to get back to it. Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really f***ing scary. We're gonna try to make something really great, bro, and really be something for the real X-Files fans, and maybe find some new ones." Meanwhile, his critically acclaimed film "Sinners" is currently streaming on HBO Max.
