Gillian Anderson says she’s up for reprising her role as Scully in Ryan Coogler's X-Files reboot: "Maybe I'll pop in for a little something something"

Good news, X-Files fans: Gillian Anderson has teased interest in reprising her role as Agent Dana Scully in the upcoming reboot, all because director Ryan Coogler is set to develop the project. 

Despite previously expressing that she had no interest in re-joining the franchise, the actor has since changed her tune. "It's so funny because, for most of my life, since I finished The X-Files, every interview I do, people have asked, and the answer has always been, 'Nope, not gonna happen,'" Anderson said in an interview with Today. "Now Ryan Coogler has approached Chris Carter to say that he wants to do a take on it, I cannot think of a better way around for a reboot to happen. I think he's a bit of a genius."
