The X-Files Revival Spoilers: Will David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson Mulder/Scully Be Younger?

Back by popular demand, Fox has plans underway to revive the iconic sci-fi/horror series. In the upcoming revival of The X-Files, will agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) suddenly become "younger" for a new generation?

As we previously mentioned,13 years have passed since FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were on the TV screen solving weird and supernatural cases. The reboot of Fox's popular sci-fi series continues with an all-new 6 episode arc. Not only are the two leads back to reprise their iconic roles, creator Chris Carter will takeover as showrunner once again for the franchise that launched his and many other careers.

As we mentioned before, The Flash actor, Robbie Amell, will play the smart and smooth Agent Miller. Joined by DIG actress, Lauren Ambrose portrays the equally sharp and confident Agent Einstein. Fox is neither denying, nor confirming the interest in a new, Amell-and-Ambrose-fronted series. Their contracts though do not stipulate "a series deal beyond" the six-episode revival.

The Millennium creator reveals, "People can speculate, but [their pacts] weren't negotiated that way."

It would be very strange seeing new leads to the X-Files franchise? But then again, agents John Doggett (Robert Patrick) and Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish) took over when Duchovny left the series. People seem to forget that the show lasted for three more seasons with them as the leads. So it seems possible right?

In response to the rumors, Duchovny had a little bit of fun on his official Instagram wall and writes beside the photo, "I heard fox wants to go younger with the new?"
