If you're new to the X-Men movie franchise, you can choose to start with First Class and make your way through the timeline chronologically. However, if you want to experience the films how they were originally released to audiences, you'll want to start with X-Men (2000) where the series officially began.
1. X-Men: First Class
X-Men: First Class is the start of a new X-Men chapter that rewinds the clock to the earliest point on the film franchise’s timeline. The film begins in 1944 at the Auschwitz concentration camp before jumping ahead to 1962. The story follows a young Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto and the origins of both the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. Read our review of X-Men: First Class.
2. X-Men: Days of Future Past
X-Men: Days of Future Past is a bit hard to place on the timeline as it features the X-Men from both the original films and the newer ones. Much of the story takes place in 1973, but plenty of time is spent in an alternate version of 2023 as well. Certain story elements we won’t spoil here make us comfortable placing it here on the timeline, but having an affection for the original crew definitely does help make it a more special moviegoing experience. This means it can also fit right near th...
3. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
The first X-Men spinoff movie starts back in 1845, but the bulk of the story is set in 1979 and explores the… well, origin of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. Not only do we get to see how he got his iconic adamantium claws, but we also get our first introduction to Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson/Deadpool. It's an essential part of the Wolverine timeline. Read our review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
X-Men (2000)X2 (2003)X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)The first major X-Men project since Marvel Studios re-acquired the rights to the franchise was X-Men '97, an animated series outside of the MCU timeline that picks up where the original animated series left off. Season 1 of the show just finished, and Season 2 is already in the works. Of course, after a marketing campaign involving explicit popcorn...

- X-Men First Class. This prequel is the earliest-set X-Men movie in the universe, with most of the action taking place in the year 1962 as a young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) teams up with a young Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) to track down a former Nazi mutant scientist (Kevin Bacon).
- X-Men: Days of Future Past. This is a tricky one. So technically most of the action of X-Men: Days of Future Past takes place in the year 1973, but it’s also a future-set movie that simultaneously takes place in the year 2023.
- X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The first-ever X-Men spinoff movie was the much-maligned X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which ostensibly tells the origin story of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine character.
- X-Men: Apocalypse. So this “prequel” most closely follows the events of X-Men: First Class and the 1970s setuff in Days of Future Past, as X-Men: Apocalypse is set in the year 1983 and finds the young adult versions of the X-Men battling the world-ending (and centuries-old) villain Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac).
The X-Men film series has been well received by film critics during its run, with Days of Future Past and Logan considered among the greatest superhero films ever made. With thirteen films released, the X-Men film series is the tenth-highest-grossing film series, having grossed over $6 billion worldwide.
