Don’t count on to see a Fox Mulder solo collection taking place anytime quickly. Back in 1993, Chris Carter launched his sci-fi collection The X-Files with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson respectively co-starring as FBI brokers Fox Mulder and Dana Scully. After the collection ended, Duchovny and Anderson would reunite for the 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe, which was a sequel to a earlier characteristic movie adaptation launched in 1998. The duo would get again collectively as soon as once more for a 2-season collection revival in 2016, bowing out with the present’s eleventh season general in 2018.
In the years since, Duchovny has remained open to returning to the world of The X-Files, although Anderson appears a lot much less , feeling she’s carried out just about all she will be able to with the position of Dana Scully. This has led to the thought of probably reviving The X-Files once more for a brand new story that includes Duchovny returning as Mulder, however this time, he would not be accompanied by his longtime companion. It’s an concept that was introduced to Duchovny in a brand new interview with ComicBook.com, however the actor shuts down the thought, feeling that it is not actually an X-Files story if he isn’t joined by each Carter and Anderson. Even so, he nonetheless hopes to see the franchise stay on, even with out Mulder and Scully.
“I do not know. I’ve by no means actually thought of that. For me, it was all the time there isn’t any present until it is Chris and Gillian, so I do not know. Again, I do not wish to have to consider that, as a result of it is not one thing that I essentially want in my life, to go try this. I feel at this level, I imply, there is likely to be one other iteration of the particular present with out both of us. I’m unsure. Or there could possibly be a cartoon. There are some ways to go about it. But personally, for me, the X-Files that I’m concerned in consists of Chris Carter, myself, and Gillian, so I have not hung out making an attempt to consider a unique model of that, and I do not know that I’ll.”
The X-Files: Is It Over?
Anderson stated again in 2018 that she was completed with the franchise, confirming that she noticed season 11 as her remaining run in The X-Files. Carter later stated that he hoped to proceed on, however like Duchovny, he additionally agreed that it would not be proper to take action with out Dana Scully. But not all hope is misplaced, as Anderson stated earlier this yr that she simply would possibly come again in any case, however that it could require bringing in an entire new group of writers. She previously informed Variety:
“It just feels like such an old idea. I’ve done it, I did it for so many years, and it also ended on such an unfortunate note. In order to even begin to have that conversation [about another season] there would need to be a whole new set of writers and the baton would need to be handed on for it to feel like it was new and progressive. So yeah, it’s very much in the past.”
Time will inform, but it surely’s in all probability finest to not wager on Anderson ever coming again to the position of Dana Scully.
