So you can feel free to watch it second or later on. Just about every release afterward took place before 2000's "X-Men." "Days of Future Past" ("DoFP") simultaneously takes place in the future and the past as Wolverine time travels. 2014's "Days of Future Past" erased most of those films from existence. Fox's "X-Men" franchise is a bit more complicated than Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe.Īfter the original "X-Men" trilogy, some of the sequels were actually prequels. It looks like we just tossed most of the "X-Men" movies in a hat and pulled out titles at random. (an alternate location to watch "Days of Future Past") Also if this is your first time watching Deadpool 2 and/or Logan, I would make this single exception and save Deadpool 2 for last after Logan, in spite of being set chronologically earlier the 4th-wall-breaking ways in Deadpool 2 do provide major spoilers for the events of Logan.Ian McKellen stars across the X-Men movies as one of the franchise's most powerful mutants, Magneto. X-Men: Days of Future Past - The Rogue Cut (2023, 1973 FORK)īy the way the setting years I gave for Origins: Wolverine, the original X-Men trilogy, The Wolverine's modern events, and both Deadpool movies are my own personal "head-canon" years you're free to go by or ignore. X-Men 3: The Last Stand (1971 flashback, 1981 opening, 2001) X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Pre-50s opening, early-mid 70s glimpses, 1979, 1985) Same history up to a certain point with a major fork in the road, therefore the chronological order of these films should be followed a certain way IMO.

The timelines do share the same history prior to January 27 1973, this includes the opening montage in Origins: Wolverine up to glimpsing Logan and Sabretooth in Vietnam, within my "head-canon" The Last Stand's Angel flashback I view in 1971, the 1962 events of First Class with its 1944 opening, the 1945 flashbacks from The Wolverine, plus ancient Egypt flashbacks we get in a Days of Future Past epilogue and the start of Apocalypse. The same for an early-80s flashback in X-Men 3: The Last Stand, it's a snapshot from the original timeline, not the new one to which Dark Phoenix shows similar commencements back in 1975. The original X-Men trilogy, The Wolverine, in addition to the darker 2023 from Days of Future Past work off the history from Origins: Wolverine (from when Logan reunites with Victor in the opening montage mid-70s Vietnam onward) and as I said can't be connected to the recent films' new timeline. You can however continue into the Deadpool movies and Logan, they are part of the revamped timeline. For example the 1973 events from Days of Future Past (particularly once a vital character is saved in '73 Paris onward) that continue into Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix, you absolutely cannot continue on into the original X-Men trilogy and The Wolverine, they are separate histories. There is time travel involved in a couple of the movies and it's reality altering, therefore the chronological events kinda veer off from each other.

Gonna take an attempt to give you a serious helpful response.
