Fans last saw Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Anderson) in 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe. Chris Carter the show creator always said the story would continue. This has not yet materialised.
Like many fans of the show, I would welcome a new X-Files movie as I would love to see where Mulder and Scully are now, and how conspiracy theory believer Mulder stands in this new post 9-11 world. So Chris Carter, please give us the chance to see if the truth is really out there.
If you can’t wait for your X-Files fix, IDW Publishing will be starting to publish an in-canon Season 10 comic in July.
