As you have already seen in The X-Files first trailer from season 11, there is a scene in which Mulder and Skinner get into a fight.
TVLine has received some details from Mitch Pileggi himself, sharing some additional information on this scene and the reason behind it.
“It’s about Scully,” Skinner’s portrayer tells TVLine, adding that he has long attempted to telegraph to the audience that his short-fused G-man “might have a little crush on Scully” — one that that has led him to have some “resentment toward Mulder.” Combine that with the fact that both characters are “bulls” possessing “a s–tload of testosterone” and fisticuffs are likely to result.
According to the article, the fight was supposed to be much more violent, but was toned down, because of the relationship of the two characters:
“It was supposed to be a lot more violent,” he explains. “Originally, what the stunt people had blocked was a [real] brawl. And we were all like, “These two guys are friends. Unless they are in some kind of drug-induced state, I don’t think they would behave like that.’ So we pulled it back quite a bit.”
