The X-Files is one of the most popular television shows ever, whose reboot was announced in 2023.

However, when asked about Scully and Mulder’s return, he couldn’t provide much information.

The X-Files is a legacy television property that reshaped storytelling and pop culture in many ways. It was one such show that was ahead of its time when it was released; in fact, it inspired countless shows. So it was natural that, when its reboot was announced in 2023, fans paid close attention. However, there was no update on the much-awaited project for an extended period. That’s why excitement among the fandom is running high now, as Ryan Coogler has finally revealed the first details of The X-Files revival.

The classic X-Files is recognized for implementing the ‘Monsters of the Week’ episode and the overarching conspiracies subtly. In an interview , Ryan Coogler stated that he wants to revive the beloved show without altering its core elements. Yes, the new X-Files will introduce fresh ideas, but it will also continue to showcase what made the original work.

He also shared that he used to watch the show with his mother and was impressed by it.

“Man, I love it, bro. For me, that show is what I used to watch with my mom, bro. It’s one of the most beautiful American television shows I’ve ever made. I think it’s the story of Chris Carter. I’ll tell you, he was trying to make Kojak, The Night Stalker. You know what I’m saying? It’s like when you, as an artist, when you’re trying to capture something that you were influenced by, and you make something totally new.” – Ryan Coogler

Later, Coogler revealed that The X-Files skyrocketed the career of Vince Gilligan, who is now known for crafting television shows like Breaking Bad and Pluribus. In addition, he spilled the beans on how he became a fan of the lead actors: Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully) and David Duchovny (Fox Mulder). However, when asked whether the central duo will return in the reboot, Coogler didn’t provide much detail, leaving fans skeptical.

The actors have not yet commented on their return in any interview. However, they didn’t close the door either. So, there are chances that they might return, but nothing can be said until an official confirmation emerges.

Ryan Coogler has stated that he is actively working on the project before moving forward with Black Panther Season 3. Let’s keep our hopes high and wait patiently for further details in the coming year.

Netflix’s Frankenstein is one of the best screen adaptations of the 1818 classic novel. Do you think you know the movie’s story? Well, you might be proved wrong. Frankenstein was Guillermo del Toro’s dream project, so he crafted a brilliant story based on the original. Well, the best part of his vision was that he didn’t make the creature seem like a mere horror; instead, he allowed us to see the creature’s human side.

Frankenstein follows Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, who is fascinated with death. So, he creates a creature using the body parts of the corpses. However, after the creature comes to life, Victor becomes frustrated with its appearance and the way it speaks and moves. He abandons him, but the creature, unable to accept rejection, follows Victor to seek answers.

A Knives Out Mystery film never disappoints, and Wake Up Dead Man raised everyone’s expectations from the franchise even more.

On top of everything, Daniel Craig’s Blanc has evolved more than ever and appears as a fully realised detective in Wake Up Dead Man.

The story of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery kicks off with the murder of a religious leader in a small upstate New York church.

KPop Demon Hunters arrived on Netflix in June 2025 and, within days, garnered a huge fanbase for its stylish animation and top-notch visuals. Instead of just being a parody of KPop, it features behind-the-scenes, idol training, stage personas, and everything in the most subtle way. Above all, we also see the lead protagonists dealing with the supernatural while maintaining their normal lives.

Kpop Demon Hunters follow a girl group, who are Kpop idols during the day and trained demon hunters at night. They have taken on the responsibility of protecting the human world from the demonic threats that emerge from time to time. So, basically, when on stage, they are not only performing for their audience, but they are also creating an energy with their music that weakens the demons, keeping their fans safe.

Director: Danny Philippou, Michael Philippou
Cast: Billy Barratt, Sora Wong, Jonah Wren Phillips, Sally Hawkins
IMDb/ Rotten Tomatoes: 7.1/ 89%

Bring Her Back is one of those horror movies that depends on cheap jump scares. Instead, it makes the horror feel personal wth the unsettling setting and the uneasy silences. Besides that, it features a slow-burning story that rewards those who unapologetically stick to it until the very end.

Andy and Piper are placed in the care of a foster mother, Laura, after the death of their father. As the story moves forward, Laura is seen desperate to bring her dead daughter back to life. So, she decides to use blind Piper as a vessel.

There are rare movies out there that skip the over-explaining part and put the focus entirely on the central point, and Counterattack is one among those golden gems in existence. It is a Mexican movie that jumps straight into the action and follows a tight script throughout, without feeling rushed at any point. If you enjoy action films, this one is perfectly suitable for you.

The movie follows Captain Armando Guerrero, the lead officer of a Mexican special unit tasked with carrying out a routine operation. However, unknowingly, they cross paths and come in the way of a brutal drug cartel, and become their targets.
