So, you want to dive into the world of mutants, superpowers, and epic battles? But figuring out the X-Men movie order can feel like battling Magneto! Fear not, true believer! We've got you covered.
There are generally two ways to watch: release order and chronological order. For the best first-time experience, we recommend release order. This preserves the surprise character reveals and the evolution of the franchise's style. Start with:
1. X-Men (2000)
2. X2: X-Men United (2003)
3. X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
4. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
5. X-Men: First Class (2011)
6. The Wolverine (2013)
7. X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
8. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
9. Logan (2017)
10. Dark Phoenix (2019)
11. The New Mutants (2020)
12. Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). While technically part of the X-Men film universe after the Disney acquisition, can be enjoyed anytime.
Chronological order gets tricky with timeline shenanigans, but release order is your best bet for maximum enjoyment and understanding! Now grab some popcorn and get ready for mutant mayhem!
