David Duchovny is Down for More X-Files

While The X-Files faces an uncertain future, after the exit of co-star Gillian Anderson, the other half of the franchise’s iconic duo, David Duchovny, is making it clear that he’d return to the series.

Plans for another season of the series have yet to manifest, but in an interview for Danish film site kino.dk, X-Files podcaster Sammensværgelsen recently got an answer from Duchovny that was intriguingly multilayered after asking the inevitable question about a possible return as Agent Fox Mulder after the series was left hanging with Season 11. When the interviewer poses the idea that creator Chris Carter is contemplating ideas for the series to return, Duchovny prefaces his answer by saying he doesn’t actively think about the series any longer, but unambiguously declares, “Chris is a good friend and I’d be there for him whatever he wanted.”

A Scully-less X-Files is doable from a storyline standpoint, perhaps with a disappearance storyline similar in nature to Mulder’s, but it would be significantly more difficult to pull off, since this one would presumably not have any support from Anderson whatsoever, since she definitively declared that she was done with the series and Scully.
