Watching Fox's X-Men franchise in chronological order is a fun way to rewatch the series, but it also highlights the franchise's questionable continuity across multiple timelines. The saga begins with X-Men: First Class in 1962 and spans all the way up to Logan in 2029. That means Professor X and Magneto are both young men in the 1960s-set X-Men: First Class and later go head-to-head in their late 60s in X-Men.

If this is your first time watching the X-Men franchise, viewing the film series in release order will be less confusing. The X-Men made their live action cinematic debut in 2000 with director Bryan Singer's X-Men, a groundbreaking superhero movie that marked Hugh Jackman’s first appearance as Wolverine, alongside Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier and Ian McKellen as Magneto. It kickstarted a long-running franchise that includes two direct sequels (X2, X-Men: The Last Stand), 3 Wolverine spin-offs (Wolverine Origins, The Wolverine, Logan), a prequel tetralogy (First Class, Days of Future Past, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix), and a Deadpool trilogy (Deadpool, Deadpool 2, Deadpool & Wolverine) starring Ryan Reynolds.
