Jan 28, 2019 · X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (1962) 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 Class took place in 1962 and was the first official story in the franchise. Professor X was still young, could walk, and had hair.
Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the film serves as a prequel set during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, starring James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as the younger versions of Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr, showing how they first met and why the X-Men team was formed.
