The X-Men movies in release orderThere are 11 films total in the main X-Men saga, and some are more important than others. X-Men (2000) X2: X-Men United (2003) X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) X-Men: First Class (2011) The Wolverine (2013) X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Logan (2017) Dark Phoenix (2019) The New Mutants (2020)The X-Men movies in chronological orderWith Days of Future Past, the X-Men timeline gets a bit unwieldy.
