We’ll take this one with a grain of salt for now, however because it’s X-Recordsdata associated, I can’t assist myself. In line with Nexus Level Information, Danielle Deadwyler is in talks to star in Ryan Coogler’s X-Recordsdata reboot. The report states that Deadwyler would play one of many two lead investigators.
Deadwyler’s latest function movie tasks embrace The More durable They Fall, I Noticed the TV Glow, Carry-On, and The Lady within the Yard. She additionally gained crucial popularity of her efficiency in Until as Mamie Until-Mobley, the mom of Emmett Until. She’s additionally made appearances in Watchmen, Station Eleven, and The Bear.
Once more, none of that is official, however as Coogler stated he would dive proper into the X-Recordsdata reboot after the discharge of Sinners, it’s affordable that some casting would now be underway. “I’m engaged on X-Recordsdata,” Coogler advised Final Podcast on the Left earlier this 12 months. “That’s what’s instantly subsequent… I’ve been enthusiastic about that one for a very long time and I’m fired as much as get again to it, and that, you already know, a few of these episodes, if we do our jobs proper, shall be actually f***ing scary.“

Coogler has additionally teased that he’s spoken with Gillian Anderson, who starred within the authentic collection as Agent Dana Scully. “She’s unbelievable, and fingers-crossed there,” he stated. “Once I spoke to her, she was ending [Tron: Ares] up. However, yeah, however we’re gonna attempt to make one thing actually nice… and actually be one thing for the true X-Recordsdata followers, you already know what I’m saying? And, possibly, discover some new ones.“
Anderson has been forwards and backwards on whether or not she would reprise the function, at occasions saying she’d be recreation to go well with up once more for Coogler, and at others, insisting that she’s stated all there’s to say about Scully. After 9 seasons of the unique present, two motion pictures, and two revival seasons, I can’t say I blame her.
As a lifelong fan of The X-Recordsdata, I’m desirous to see what Coogler brings to the desk. Nonetheless, I can’t resolve which method I’d want — a complete reboot, or a legacy collection that pays homage to what got here earlier than. Letting a brand new duo of brokers take over the X-Recordsdata workplace may very well be an effective way to bridge previous and new, however it might additionally assure infinite debates over how faithfully it sticks to the unique mythology (which, to be honest, was by no means precisely constant to start with). Both method, the collection must stroll a positive line between reverence and reinvention.
Which might you favor? An entire reboot of The X-Recordsdata or a legacy collection? Additionally, would you be all the way down to see Danielle Deadwyler as one of many stars of the brand new X-Recordsdata?
