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 First Class (2011) This prequel may not have been the first to be released in theaters, but within the X-Men universe, X-Men: First Class came the earliest.
- X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Starring Hugh Jackman, Peter Dinklage, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, McAvoy and more, Days of Future Past technically takes place in 1973, which is why we're placing it here in the timeline.
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) It's an origin story, of course, so some of Wolverine's beginnings take place in 1845 when he first discovers and harnesses his new powers.
- X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Set in the 1980s, Apocalypse finds the X-Men facing a powerful mutant enemy named En Sabah Nur (played by Oscar Isaac), who's intent on bringing destruction to the world.
- X-Men: First Class (2011) The first film in the rebooted "X-Men" timeline that launched in the 2010s, "X-Men: First Class" unfolds primarily around the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, and it simultaneously tracks the formation of the X-Men and the founding of the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
- X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) "X-Men: Days of Future Past" opened as the second film in the rebooted timeline, and it takes place largely in 1973. However, we've already run into trouble in this little project of watching the franchise chronologically.
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" served as the first attempt at giving Hugh Jackman's breakout character his own movie. The prequel attempts to tell Wolverine's origin story, beginning with his time as a young boy with bone claws in the 1800s.
- X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) A few years after "X-Men: Days of Future Past" came "X-Men: Apocalypse," a movie that manages to waste Oscar Isaac. He plays the titular Apocalypse, an ancient mutant who reawakens in 1983 and sets out to destroy the world.
