First, you need to choose between watching the X-Men movies in chronological order or by release date. Of course, viewing the series in release date is easiest but immersing yourself in the chronological order offers a totally different experience, adding variety and substance. Which you choose is your preference (or maybe go for both to see how they differ). Where to watch? All the movies are hosted on Disney Plus.
All this might spark an interest in doing a deep dive into more of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). If so, you should head over to our guides on how to watch the Marvel movies in order and how to watch the Spider-Man movies in order to make sure you do it right. Then, see if you"ve got an opinion on our Marvel villains rankedlist.

With Marvel-based movies now indisputably the biggest cash cows in Hollywood, it’s almost unbelievable that they were once considered a risky proposition at the turn of the 21st century. But along with Blade (released in 1998), the first X-Men film was at the vanguard of the comic book publisher"s successful assault on the big screen– if it hadn"t been a hit, it"s unlikely that the MCU would exist in its current form.
In the two decades since, there have been a further 12 movies released in the X-Men universe, with The New Mutants being the most recent addition to that list. There have also been a pair of TV shows based on X-Men comics, Legion (2017-2019) and The Gifted (2017-2019), though we haven"t included either project in the below list of release-ordered X-Men movies:
X-Men (2000)X-Men 2/X2: X-Men United (2003)X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)X-Men: First Class (2011)The Wolverine (2013)X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)Deadpool (2016)X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)Logan (2017)Deadpool 2 (2018)X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)The New Mutants (2020)
How to watch the X-Men movies in chronological order

This is where things get super complex – even supercomputer Cerebro would struggle to get its circuits around the intricacies of the X-Men timeline. On the face of it, the chronology is fairly straightforward. Ignoring the numerous flashbacks to the 19th century (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) and World War II (X-Men, X-Men: First Class, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Wolverine), the mutants’ screen story begins in the 1962-set X-Men: First Class, continuing into the 1973-set X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Then, while some key scenes in X-Men Origins: Wolverine take place in 1973, the majority of the movie – notably the scenes where Logan gets his adamantium skeleton – is set in 1979. In fact, an augmented Wolvie with anger management issues then crops up in the 1983-set X-Men: Apocalypse. The prequel saga concludes in the 1992-set X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
Next, the chronology moves onto the original X-Men, which was set in an undefined “near future” when the film was released in 2000. Unsurprisingly, X-Men 2 and X-Men: The Last Stand continue from there in linear fashion.
We also know that The Wolverine takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand, as Logan is dealing with the aftermath of killing the love of his life, Jean Grey. The Wolverine’s end-credits sequence then takes place two years after the other events in the movie, as Professor Xavier and Magneto return to warn Logan about “dark forces building a weapon that could bring about the end of our kind”.Given the heavy references to Trask Industries, the company behind the mutant-hunting Sentinels, this is clearly setting up the apocalyptic future we see in the 2023-set sequences of X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Logan takes place in 2029, a time period when the X-Men are a thing of the past. TV series The Gifted is also set in a post-X-Men world, though it’s never confirmed exactly when that is – and it"s clearly not the future we see in Logan. Legion, meanwhile, is impossible to pin down, thanks to its retro stylings and intentionally unreliable narrator – a psychic by the name of David Haller who just happens to be Professor Xavier’s son.
Thanks to his self-awareness and unconventional approach to narrative, Deadpool can fit into the timeline wherever he wants. The New Mutants appears to have a tangential relationship to Logan, too, with Essex Corp appearing in both movies. It also appeared in Apocalypse – so we"re fairly confident this is how it slots together.
Here, then, is a (much briefer) rundown of how to watch the X-Men movies in chronological order:
X-Men: First Class (set in 1962)X-Men: Days of Future Past (past sequences set in 1973)X-Men Origins: Wolverine (set in 1979)X-Men: Apocalypse (set in 1983)X-Men: Dark Phoenix (set in 1992)X-Men (set in near future from 2000)X-Men 2/X2: X-Men United (set after X-Men)X-Men: The Last Stand (set after X-Men 2)The Wolverine (set after X-Men: The Last Stand)The New Mutants (set in the present day and likely before Logan)X-Men: Days Of Future Past (future sequences set in 2023)Logan (set in 2029)But, of course, things aren"t that simple, because while the above dates (mostly) fit together, there are numerous contradictions in this timeline.
In the original X-Men movie, Xavier reveals that he met Magneto when they were 17 years old – yet in Days of Future Past, we learn that their first meeting took place when both were adults. A hairless Xavier is seen walking and using his psychic abilities in the 1979 of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, yet we see him paralyzed in the 1962 of X-Men: First Class, and losing his hair in the 1983 of X-Men: Apocalypse (while he’s able to walk in the 1973 of Days of Future Past, that’s thanks to an experimental drug that suppresses his psychic abilities).
The end-credits scene in The Wolverine is particularly confusing. The old Xavier was last seen being vaporized in X-Men: The Last Stand, yet he’s back in one piece here, while the older Magneto has regained the mutant abilities he lost in the same movie. Both mysteries remain unexplained. The scene also shows Wolverine wielding bone claws, having lost his adamantium adornments earlier in the movie – yet by the time Days of Future Past rolls around, he’s back to adamantium. Again, nobody explains why.

And then there’s the fact that Jean Grey experiences the Dark Phoenix saga twice…

Some of these contradictions can be explained away as continuity errors (there are plenty of them in the wider MCU franchise), but others start to make sense when you look at the X-Men universe as distinct timelines. Think of it like J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movies, where the arrival of a Romulan ship from the future created a whole new timeline for Kirk, Spock and the rest of Enterprise crew – here"s an explanation of how to watch the Star Trek movies in order, if you"re keen to dive down that rabbit hole, too. The X-Men version is less elegant, but (just about) makes sense.
In the X-Men movies, ground zero is the 1973 segment of X-Men: Days of Future Past. As soon as the ’70s X-Men prevent the creation of the Sentinels, they prevent the future that led to mutant armageddon in the Prime timeline, creating an alternative sequence of events that continues into X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. We’re already seeing evidence of the “repaired” timeline by the end of Days of Future Past, where Logan returns to an unfamiliar future in which Cyclops and Jean Grey (played by original actors James Marsden and Famke Janssen) are still alive. We also see Kelsey Grammer’s version of Beast, last seen in The Last Stand, whose eventual death Logan mentions in Days of Future Past.
The new timelines, then, look something like this.
Prime X-Men timeline
X-Men: First ClassX-Men Origins: WolverineX-MenX-Men 2/X2: X-Men UnitedX-Men: The Last StandThe WolverineX-Men: Days Of Future Past (post-apocalyptic 2023 sequences)Post-Days of Future Past timeline
X-Men: First ClassX-Men: Days of Future Past (1973 sequences)X-Men: ApocalypseX-Men: Dark PhoenixX-Men: Days of Future Past (“repaired” future sequences, featuring resurrected Cyclops and Jean Grey)It’s not clear which branch of the X-Men timeline leads into the post-X-Men 2029 of Logan. A (non-canon) deleted scene does refer to Jean Grey’s death, suggesting that the original plan was for it to be a continuation of the Prime X-Men timeline. That said, Xavier refers to Logan and Jean being married before he “killed her” – seeing as they were never officially a couple in the movies, Logan possibly exists in its own distinct timeline.
It’s best to look at Deadpool, The New Mutants, Legion and The Gifted as their own distinct entities, completely separate from the other X-Men timelines.
X-Men movies by series
The X-Men movies don’t really exist as one continuous saga. Instead, there have been several mini-franchises within Fox’s larger X-franchise. For that reason, it"s easier to think of them in granular terms, rather than getting hung up on how they fit together as one big entity.
Things were nice and simple back in the early days, as X-Men, X-Men 2 and X-Men: The Last Stand formed the beginning, middle and end of a standalone trilogy. Fox was never going to let a lucrative franchise die after just three movies, however, so three years after The Last Stand, Hugh Jackman returned in an origin story for the series’ most popular character, Wolverine.

Although plans to make another X-Men Origins movie (this time focused on Magneto) were ultimately shelved, Wolverine returned to headline two more standalone films. The Wolverine picked up after The Last Stand, and riffed on Chris Claremont and Frank Miller’s classic Japan-set comic book arc from the 1980s. The more thoughtful Logan, meanwhile, showed an older Wolverine living in a post-X-Men world, struggling to come to terms with the fact that his healing powers have deserted him. It became the first superhero movie to receive an Oscar nomination for its screenplay.
Alongside the Wolverine movies, X-Men: First Class introduced a new cast in familiar roles, as the ’60s-set movie explained how the young Charles Xavier and Magneto (then allies) created the X-Men. First Class spawned another three sequels (Days of Future Past, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix), while the time-travelling shenanigans of Days of Future Past (where the consciousness of 2023 Wolverine is sent back to 1973) brought the stars of the original movies along for the ride, too. It’s a sequel and a prequel in one.

Then things got really weird, as the X-Men series went more left-field than any superhero franchise in history. Wade Wilson/Deadpool had been a supporting player in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but the much-loved character was so unrecognizable that the fans revolted. Star Ryan Reynolds subsequently launched a lengthy campaign to get the so-called ‘Merc with a Mouth’ his own movie, and his wish was granted with the subversive, potty-mouthed, fourth-wall-breaking Deadpool in 2016.
After that broke records for an R-rated movie, the inevitable sequel arrived in 2018. A third installment is on the way, too, with Hugh Jackman"s Wolverine also returning (again!) for one last hurrah – though we don"t know to what extent just yet.
We"ve treated The New Mutants as its own entity in the below series breakdown, since it doesn"t totally fit alongside any of Fox"s collection of X-Men movies.

This is how the X-Men movies stack up on review aggregator site IMDb:
Looking at the above ratings, it’s no surprise to see Logan topping the chart. Driven by phenomenal performances from Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart, James Mangold’s film pushed the boundaries of what a superhero movie could be – how the characters deal with the aging process is just as important as the mutant action. There’s similarly high scores for Days of Future Past – arguably the most ambitious of the X-movies – and the first Deadpool, undoubtedly the funniest.

It’s similarly predictable that X-Men: Dark Phoenix should be the film propping up the list. A critical and box office flop, it effectively sealed the fate of the X-franchise in its pre-Disney form. After The Last Stand, it also marked the second time a movie had messed up the beloved Dark Phoenix storyline from the comics. Chances are they won’t be trying that again…
