David Duchovny has confirmed the return of 'The X Files' to the big screen. The 46-year-old actor, who played Agent Mulder on the cult TV show for nine years, revealed he and co-star Gillian Anderson are ready to reprise their roles for a second film.

He told movie website IESB.net: "We'll do another movie or two, we'll continue to do movies if the next one does well."

David says the writers are currently busy brainstorming details for the new script. He said: "There is a board, as we say, a story. The story will revolve around Gillian's character, Dana Scully, and my character, Fox Mulder."

The first film, 'The X Files', was released in 1998 and a sequel has always been promised. Dates for filming or release are yet to be confirmed.

Since 'The X Files' TV series ended in 2002, David has starred in 'Zoolander' with Ben Stiller and 'Connie & Carla' with Toni Collette.

Gillian recently appeared in 'The Last King of Scotland' with Forest Whitaker. Last year, she was nominated for a BAFTA Award for her role in the BBC TV drama 'Bleak House'.
