X-men Movies In Order

X-men is a classic American comic turned movie series. On the same level as Batman, Superman, and Captain America, this successful series kicked off with its first movie in 2000 after 20^th Century Fox acquired the rights to the name in 1994. The films have earned more than 7 billion dollars worldwide, and the characters have continued to find new audiences. Marvel has announced that its new X-Men film will open in theaters on May 5, 2028.

Many people will debate you on the proper X-men movie order. Many diehard fans will insist on watching it in chronological order, which is different from release dates. While I would agree to do this with something like Star Wars, I wouldn’t do it with this series. I would watch them in the order in which they were released. The first movie does a good job at introducing all of the characters and gives plenty of background information about subsequent movies. Don’t worry about watching it in chronological order, it’s not very important, and you may be confused.

Like many successful films, X-men is originally based on comic books by Marvel and written by Stan Lee. Of course because of its popularity, it has since been spun into books, movies, video games, action figures, and more. Making its debut in the 1960s, X-men has since went on to become an American classic superhero movie like Superman and the rest.

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) brought Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine, seven years after Logan. It also brought these characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, while keeping Deadpool’s adult humor. The movie earned more than 1.3 billion dollars worldwide, a huge result for an R-rated film.

The films in this series have received a range of reviews. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was not received with the same warmth as some of the other releases, while later films continued to bring the characters to new audiences.

Whatever your opinion is on comic book turned movies, it’s very clear that Xmen is here to stay. With a long history on screen and more than five decades of comics behind it, this series remains legendary among fans. And remember, don’t be fooled by fans telling you to watch them in chronological order, just watch them in the order that they were released and don’t overthink it!
