One, you could end up trying to watch X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days Of Future Past twice, since they both exist in both timelines (the events of First Class are unchanged by the new timeline the 2023-set events of Days Of Future Past belong to the old timeline but the 1973-set events belong to the new one). However, there are two problems with trying to follow the timelines. It should be noted that most of these suggested marathons can be further improved by removing X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which introduces an extraordinary number of inconsistencies, and X-Men: Apocalypse, which sits rather awkwardly in any sequence since it exists in a different timeline to most of the rest of the franchise, but takes place midway through the series’ chronology.

These are just a few suggestions for different routes through the series, as it were, and everyone’s preferred route will come down to personal taste more than anything else. None of these suggested viewing orders are intended to be definitive and, thanks to the determined lack of internal consistency in the series, none of them work perfectly.

Now that the prequel era has seemingly come to a close with the 2019, Sophie Turner -led Dark Phoenix, we thought we’d firm up a few different options for approaches to an X-Men movie marathon. The series includes prequels, at least two different timelines, and more internal inconsistencies than you can shake an adamantium (or bone) claw at.

The viewing order of the X-Men film series is especially complicated.

You have a series, it starts out releasing an original story, then some sequels, then… it all goes a bit wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey, whether through the release of prequels, through introducing a time-travel element to the story that confuses the order of the narrative, or other various narrative shenanigans.
