1. X-Men: First Class
X-Men: First Class is the start of a new X-Men chapter that rewinds the clock to the earliest point on the film franchise’s timeline. The film begins in 1944 at the Auschwitz concentration camp before jumping ahead to 1962. The story follows a young Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto and the origins of both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. Read our review of X-Men: First Class.
2. X-Men: Days of Future Past
X-Men: Days of Future Past is a bit hard to place on the timeline as it features the X-Men from both the original films and the newer ones. Much of the story takes place in 1973, but plenty of time is spent in an alternate version of 2023 as well. Certain story elements we won’t spoil here make us comfortable placing it here on the timeline, but having an affection for the original crew definitely does help make it a more special moviegoing experience. This means it can also fit right near th...
3. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
The first X-Men spinoff movie starts back in 1845, but the bulk of the story is set in 1979 and explores the… well, origin of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Not only do we get to see how he got his iconic adamantium claws, but we also get our first introduction to Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson/Deadpool. It's an essential part of the Wolverine timeline.

X-Men (2000)X2 (2003)X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)The first major X-Men project since Marvel Studios re-acquired the rights to the franchise was X-Men '97, an animated series outside of the MCU timeline that picks up where the original animated series left off. Season 1 finished up earlier this year, and Season 2 is already in the works. Of course, after seeing explicit popcorn buckets and butt co...
- X-Men (2000) So, let's start with the beginning. It seems like a completely insane thing to think about now, but in the year 2000, nobody in Hollywood had any idea if superhero movies could still be a thing.
- X2: X-Men United (2003) If X-Men made us believe in the possibility of mutants in movies, a mind-controlled Nightcrawler attacking the White House at the onset of X2 ensured they stuck around for a while.
- X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) If you set out to tackle the original cinematic X-Men, watching the first three in chronological order should give you a sense for the wildly inconsistent quality that eventually defines the entire series.
- X-Men: First Class (2011) So in a series with just as many misfires as genuinely stellar entries, should quality influence your watching order? We would suggest that, if you care to maximize your mutant-related enjoyment, it probably doesn't hurt to disregard chronology in the interest of keeping morale high.
