Carter Bets on Coogler’s X-Files Reboot, Passes the Torch

X-Files creator Chris Carter says he’s handing the series’ legacy to Ryan Coogler and will watch the reboot as a fan, not read the pilot, while remaining an executive producer who won’t interfere. He expects Mulder and Scully to appear, notes Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel lead the new FBI duo, and says Duchovny and Anderson are likely to pop up. Carter also hints at future X-Files projects and discusses reworking his director’s cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe as he waits to see Coogler’s take.

X-Files Director’s Cut Makes It Gory and Romance-Light

Chris Carter announces a new, R-rated director’s cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe, titled The X-Files: I Want to Believe – Vrach Frankenshteyn, coming to Disney+ and Hulu. The version stays true to the plot but increases gore and trims Mulder and Scully’s romance, running seven minutes shorter than the 2008 PG-13 release to align with Carter’s original Frankenstein-inspired vision after executives complained it was meant to be “torture porn.” Disney is on board, and Carter discusses why the cut exists, his thoughts on the upcoming Ryan Coogler reboot (not involved), and future projects like Queens for a Day, while noting the film’s modest theatrical success and his aim to emphasize Monster of the Week storytelling and the show’s mythology.
