- X-Men: First Class. Release date: June 3, 2011. Cast: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence. We’re already kicking off our list with a disclaimer about the number one spot.
- X-Men: Days of Future Past. Release Date: May 23, 2014. Cast: Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender. Another contentious piece of chronology here, as Days of Future Past takes place in both 1973, and “The Future” simultaneously.

It is easy to find the first X-Men movie in chronological order, as it is the origin story of the team of mutant heroes. While it was the fifth movie in the franchise, X-Men: First Classtook place in 1962 and was the first official story in the franchise. Professor X was still young, could walk, and had hair. He was friends and allies, at first, wi...
There were still complaints about the timeline, and then X-Men: Days of Future Past decided it wanted to shake things up and change the future so things could go in whatever direction the studio wanted. There were two timelines: the first was in 1973 and the second was 2023. The characters in 2023 were the same ones from the original trilogy, altho...
Jumping out of the new timeline, X-Men Origins: Wolverinetook place over three timelines. The first was just a prelude in 1845 with a young Logan and Sabretooth, and the second was a longer second prelude during the Vietnam War. The movie then jumps to 1981. This saw Wolverine in battle with an older William Stryker, Sabretooth, and a totally messe...
Up next is where things get really screwed up. New members of the X-Men show up in X-Men: Apocalypse, including Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Nightcrawler. Storm is here as a villain, as is Angel. Here is the biggest problem with listing the X-Men movies in chronological order, though. Nightcrawler shows up for the first time in X2 (2003) and Angel in X-...
The last X-Men movie to be created before Disney's acquisition is a take on the iconic Dark Phoenix saga, which has been successfully depicted in the comics and the ever popular X-MenAnimated Series from the 90s. The movie, directed by Simon Kinberg, is likely to be the last hurrah for many of Fox's X-Men stars, like Michael Fassbender, Jennifer La...
The next few movies are easy to categorize in the X-Men chronology. The first X-Men movie took place in 2000 and this is when Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm meet and save Wolverine and Rogue (17 years after X-Men: Origins). By this time, Professor X and Magneto are rivals and enemies, which was set up in the latter trilogy. Sabretooth is also mutate...
Three years after the first X-Menmovie took place, the X-Men are a solid team. Wolverine is a full-fledged member and a mentor to the kids in the school, and some newcomers start to step up, including Iceman. William Stryker makes his first official appearance here, while he would later pop up in the prequels X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: Day...
X-Men: The Last Stand might be the most hated movie in the franchise. Bryan Singer left the franchise and Brett Ratner came in. He then did both the mutant cure storyline as well as his version of the Dark Phoenix Saga — neither coming across well when it comes to both critics and fans. This is the movie that has basically been wiped out of existen...
The Wolverinetakes place in 2013. This movie has Logan going to Japan to relive a slightly altered version of one of his most beloved comic book storylines. Wolverine heads to Japan, he meets a woman he marries in the comics (which doesn't happen in the movie), is betrayed by a man he saved in World War II, and then fights a weird version of Silver...
Deadpool is a movie that has no idea where it is supposed to fit in the X-Men movie continuity. Since it is so referential, that really makes sense. For one thing, the character is the same one from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, what happened to him in that movie never happened here... Kind of. Anyway, Colossus is here and he is much older tha...

- Logan. Logan takes place in the year 2029, just six years after the happy ending seen in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Sometime shortly after, Xavier's mind started to deteriorate and all the X-Men except for Wolverine (Logan) died after Xavier has a seizure.
- Deadpool 2. Deadpool 2 fittingly takes place two years after Deadpool, and sees Wade Wilson fighting to protect a young boy named Russell (Julian Dennison) from the time-traveling killer Cable (Josh Brolin), who says the boy will grow up into the villainous Firefist.
- The New Mutants. While The New Mutants' exact place in the timeline is unclear, as the movie was originally pitched as taking place in the '80s but was rejected and bumped up to the present-day, it can be assumed to be taking place in the modern-day and the time jump for Deadpool 2 makes The New Mutants a good fit between films.
- Deadpool. Set in the modern day, Deadpool sees Wade Wilson's story in the timeline moved up from where it was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) is diagnosed with cancer and undergoes an experimental treatment that activates his mutant ability to heal, but he can't heal previous wounds, which include his disfigured face that prevents him from reuniting with the love of his life.
