List of X-Men film series characters
Wikimedia list article
X-Men is an American superhero film series based on the X-Men comic book franchise published by Marvel Comics. The series began with the release of the first X-Men movie in 2000. This film was followed by X2 (2003) and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006), forming the original trilogy. A prequel trilogy would begin with X-Men: First Class (2011), featuring a young Magneto, Professor X, and Mystique. The 2014 X-Men: Days of Future Past acted as a sequel to both X-Men: First Class and the original trilogy, taking place in both time periods, altering the timeline and erasing the original trilogy's events. X-Men: Apocalypse (2018) and Dark Phoenix take place in the revised timeline and finish the prequel trilogy.
The franchise also spawned a solo Wolverine trilogy—X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), The Wolverine (2013) and Logan (2017)—and a Deadpool film trilogy. The third film in the Deadpool trilogy, Deadpool & Wolverine (2022), takes place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and features elements from both the Fox X-Men and MCU universes. The New Mutants (2020) was a standalone horror film in the X-Men universe. Two television series were created for the franchise, Legion and The Gifted (both 2017–2019).

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
