The anonymous villain, who served as the central antagonist for most of the original series, is making a surprising return for the revival. Why’s that? In the series finale, he was blown to smithereens by a rocket shot from a helicopter. It’ll be interesting to see how they address that in the revival.
For those of you watching Fox’s Gotham this evening, be on the lookout for a new sneak preview of The X-Files revival.
