So, today, I will take a quick inventory of the correct viewing order of these 12 movies with you in the order of the stories!

1. "X-Men: The First World War" released in 2011 In this part, the story takes place during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. The young Professor X and the young Magneto became close friends from the beginning, and finally parted ways due to different ideas. ! And Professor X was accidentally injured by Magneto, hemiplegia, and got into a wheelchair!

2. "Wolverine" released in 2009, the story took place in 1963, Wolverine and his brother Saber-toothed tiger and Deadpool were recruited to Major Stryker's special team of special abilities! However, in the end, Wolverine got rid of the military's control because he was tired of killing!

3. "X-Men", "X-Men 2", "X-Men 3: The Last Battle" released in 2000, 2003 and 2006 respectively

The most classic X-Men trilogy! It tells the story of two mutant forces, Professor X and Magneto falling in love and killing each other!

4. The "Wolverine 2" Warrior Battle, released in 2013, tells the story of Wolverine who saved a Japanese soldier during World War II, but the Japanese soldier avenged his revenge and wanted to use Wolverine's self-healing ability to make himself The story of immortality!

5. "X-Men: Days of Future Past" released in 2014 tells the story of the year 2023, when a large number of mutants were killed because of the Sentinel robot, and the world was destroyed! So Wolverine was sent back to 1973 to prevent Mystique from killing Trisk, the father of Sentinel robots, and united the then young Professor X and Magneto, thus changing history! And this soft reboot also clears all the content of the X-Men trilogy and Wolverine 2 Samurai battle!

I want to say here that there is no concept of a parallel universe in the X-Men series of movies. Changing the past will not lead to a new time flow like "Avengers 4", but directly changing the present!

6. X-Men: Apocalypse, released in 2016

Because of the soft restart of history, the story of the X-Men began to be written slowly from this one! And this one tells the story of the ancient mutant apocalypse awakened in 1983!

7. The upcoming "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" should follow the timeline of "X-Men: Apocalypse" and tell the story about Dark Phoenix!

8. Deadpool, released in 2016 Deadpool 2, released in 2018

As a spin-off series of the X-Men series, the timeline is not clear, but the two cheap movies are definitely not to be missed!

9. "Wolverine 3: Deadly Fight" released in 2017, the story takes place in 2029, the story after the disbandment of the X-Men! And our uncle wolf also left us forever in this movie!

With 20th Century Fox being acquired by Disney, the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix could be the last film in Fox's X-Men franchise! However, you don't have to be sad, this also means that the X-Men series will soon be integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is also owned by Disney!

X-Men: Dark Phoenix quotes

  • Professor Charles Xavier: [to Hank] Raven had the right of it. Jean was never the villain. I was. I should never have lied to her. I was wrong. But this power inside of her, I never put that there. I would never do anything intentionally to hurt her. It isn't me and this is not Jean. We can still save her. She is still Jean inside.

  • Erik Lehnsherr: Whose blood is that?

    Jean Grey: What?

    Erik Lehnsherr: On your shirt. Whose blood is it? Look, I'm not Charles. I can't read your mind.

    Jean Grey: You hurt people.

    Erik Lehnsherr: It's been a while.

    Jean Grey: But you did.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Yes. Yes, I did. What about it?

    Jean Grey: How did you stop?

    Erik Lehnsherr: I've lived with vengeance my whole life. Ever since I was a child, I... lost everyone I ever loved, so... I hurt people. Yes, killed people. Killed whatever I thought would make the pain go away. It didn't, no matter how many souls I sent under. So I stopped.

    Jean Grey: I don't know how to stop. I don't know what's happening to me. When I lose control... things happen, bad things... to people I love.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Whose blood is that? Isn't that why you came here? What do you think I can do for you?

    Jean Grey: I don't know.

    Erik Lehnsherr: Yes, you do. Whose blood is that?
