AceShowbiz - Raviv Ullman is reflecting on the possibility of revisiting one of Disney Channel’s most memorable sci-fi series from the early 2000s. Best known for his role as Phil Diffy in Phil of the Future, Ullman recently shared insights about a potential reboot during an interview at SXSW, where he was promoting his new film Drag.

Phil of the Future originally aired starting in 2004 and ran for two seasons, totaling 43 episodes. The story followed the Diffy family, who unexpectedly get stranded in the year 2004 after their time machine malfunctions. Forced to adapt to life in the 2000s, the show blended sci-fi themes with family comedy, becoming a beloved part of Disney Channel’s lineup.

During the interview with ScreenRant's Ash Crossan, Ullman reflected on the trend of reviving popular 2000s shows, citing the recent success of reboots like Hannah Montana. Though he has shifted his career focus toward filmmaking and storytelling behind the camera, his enthusiasm for acting remains strong. Ullman revealed he would be “100%” open to returning to his role as Phil Diffy if a reboot were to happen. "Heck yeah. I like working. I love those people. Absolutely. No one has called about it, but yeah," he said.

The original series ended on a notable cliffhanger in the episode titled "Back to the Future (Not the Movie)," which aired on August 19, 2006. In this finale, Phil and his best friend Keely, played by Aly Michalka, confessed their feelings for each other. Simultaneously, the Diffy family fixed their time machine and returned to 2121, leaving the budding romance behind in the past. This unresolved ending has left fans curious about what could have come next.

Despite his openness to a reboot, Ullman has not received any official contact from Disney regarding a revival. Instead, his current attention is on his new project, Drag, which premiered at SXSW. The film, a blend of comedy and thriller elements, stars John Stamos and Lizzy Caplan alongside Ullman. Stamos is widely recognized for his role as Uncle Jesse on Full House, while Caplan is known for her performances in Mean Girls and the Now You See Me series.

Drag centers on two sisters who attempt to rob a home in upstate New York, only to have their plan go awry when one sister injures her back and is unable to leave. The story follows their efforts to escape the house before the homeowners return. The cast also includes Lucy DeVito and Christine Ko, adding depth to the ensemble.

Ullman shared his passion for filmmaking during the interview, emphasizing how much he enjoys working behind the camera. He explained that his interest in directing started even during his time on Phil of the Future, recalling how he would spend weekends assisting the camera crew. "I loved filmmaking, so this is really a dream come true," Ullman said about Drag. "I think because I started so young, it was just about that I loved doing it. And we're hoping that all the love that we brought into this project, and the cast, and the incredible work of our crew shines on the screen."

Meanwhile, the possibility of revisiting the quirky, time-traveling Diffy family remains an intriguing prospect, especially given Ullman’s enthusiasm for returning to the role that helped launch his career.
