‘The X-Files’: David Duchovny Would Be “More Than Happy” To Play Mulder Again

More on the possible David Duchovny X Files return after the jump.
Speaking with USA Today, Duchovny revealed he’d be “more than happy and excited to bring it back and do it again with [co-star] Gillian and [series creator] Chris [Carter].” He added, “I’m assuming that it will happen sooner rather than later now.”
However, there is a catch — he doesn’t want to return to the 20something-episode seasons of yore. “We’ll see what form, how many (episodes),” he said. “Certainly I can’t nor would I be interested in doing a full season. It will be in some kind of limited form. We’re all old, we don’t have the energy for a full season.”
One potential snag in Fox’s plans to bring everyone back is scheduling. Anderson has been starring in the BBC’s The Fall and has been confirmed as a regular for Season 3 of NBC’s Hannibal. Meanwhile, Duchovny has the crime drama Aquarius coming up at NBC. But if The X-Files revival is going to be a limited affair anyway, both stars could potentially find a way to work it in.
