The X-men universe has been… challenging to follow over the years. It’s been 24 years since the first X-Men movie released back in the year 2000 and, since then, we’ve had all sorts of time travel shenanigans: a reboot series that was eventually reconnected to the original movies, and now, thanks to Disney buying Fox and rolling the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe — as confirmed in Deadpool & Wolverine — we've also got a bunch of multiverse stuff to contend with. On the bright side, thanks to some stellar Black Friday deals, we'll have the (streaming) tools to give ourselves a proper X-men marathon.
So, let’s get all these timelines straightened out with our guide to the X-Men movies in order. We’ve put together the chronological list (because that's the hard one to follow) but there is also a release order list at the bottom of this page too. In terms of where to watch, one of our favorite Black Friday weekend streaming deals right now offers a Disney+ and Hulu subscription for only $2.99 a month, for 12 months.
