We previously thought 'New Mutants' would take place in between the two 'Deadpool' films because of the 'mutant re-education center' shown in 'Deadpool 2' that's filled with young mutants being held against their will. If you've never seen 'Logan,' watch that first or 'Deadpool 2' will give away a massive spoiler for the film. If you've seen both films before, they're interchangeable. 'Deadpool 2' and 'Logan' are probably two of the best films to watch last before heading into 'New Mutants' as both films deal with younger mutants. It's also easier to end the binge on three solid 'X-Men' movies before you have to watch 'New Mutants.' They can really be watched at any point after 'DoFP,' but it's probably easiest to watch 'Apocalypse' and 'Dark Phoenix' back to back. 'Deadpool' and 'Deadpool 2' are outliers, but do take place chronologically after 'Days of Future Past' in the new timeline. This order gives you the first 'X-Men' timeline up to 'Days of Future Past' and then gives you the new timeline which exists after Wolverine travels back in time to fix the future. So you can feel free to watch it second or later on. Just about every release afterward took place before 2000's 'X-Men.' 'Days of Future Past' ('DoFP') simultaneously takes place in the future and the past as Wolverine time travels. 2014's 'Days of Future Past' erased most of those films from existence. Fox's 'X-Men' franchise is a bit more complicated than Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe.Īfter the original 'X-Men' trilogy, some of the sequels were actually prequels. It looks like we just tossed most of the 'X-Men' movies in a hat and pulled out titles at random. (an alternate location to watch 'Days of Future Past')

Ian McKellen stars across the X-Men movies as one of the franchise's most powerful mutants, Magneto.
