Yet, by taking the series as two timelines, which almost works in release order, you can just about grasp and understand the series.

There are a lot of issues with the X-Men timelines, so many that they probably warrant a whole article of their own. X-Men: Days of Future Past (past events).(Image credit: 20th Century Studios) Prime timeline And Deadpool 2 also references Wolverine’s death in Logan, the latter of which is set in 2029, so let’s just assume Deadpool marches to the beat of his own drum. It could be argued that Days of Future Past should be last here, in its setting of 2023, but a whole lot of it takes place in 1973, so switch that about as you like according to taste. This one's just a literal timeline of events without taking into account multiple timelines. It will perhaps make more sense if we show you the order – but, in short, there are two timelines that don't line up.! The Easy Wayīest for: No one, really. This one starts with X-Men: First Class, which technically applies to both timelines, and goes right up until the far future and the catastrophe that prompts Wolverine to travel back to 1973 and stop the Sentinels. Instead, you're perhaps better off taking into account the multiple timelines that are caused when Days of Future Past erases the future we knew in the original trilogy. This one's a very literal chronological order without taking in varying timelines. This, unfortunately, leads to some issues as Dark Phoenix does not lead particularly nicely into the first X-Men, and then you also have the fact the Dark Phoenix catastrophe happens again with Jean Grey in The Last Stand. First up, we have The Easy Way, which puts all the X-Men movies into a strict order of when they are set – so we go from the '60s to the far future. Now, there are a few ways this can be done. Things are about to get a little complicated.
