X-Men is an American superhero film series based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It was produced by 20th Century Fox[a] and Marvel Entertainment from 2000 to 2020.
Fox obtained the film rights to the team and other related characters in 1994 for $2.6 million. They first produced the X-Men film trilogy consisting of X-Men (2000), X2 (2003), and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). After each film outgrossed its predecessor, further films were released, set in the same shared universe. These included three spin-off films centered around Wolverine (X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2009, The Wolverine in 2013, and Logan in 2017), two films centered around Deadpool (Deadpool in 2016 and Deadpool 2 in 2018), and the stand-alone The New Mutants (2020). A prequel series to the original trilogy began with X-Men: First Class (2011), and was followed by X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), which also served as a sequel to The Last Stand and a soft reboot for the series as a whole; the prequel series continued with X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) and Dark Phoenix (2019). In addition to the thirteen films, four of the films received a total of five additional cuts, and two television series – Legion (2017–2019) and The Gifted (2017–2019) – were released.
The X-Men films had varying reception, but most received positive reviews. In particular, X2, Days of Future Past, and Logan are considered among the greatest superhero films ever made, with the latter two receiving Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Adapted Screenplay respectively. Across the thirteen films released, the X-Men film series is one of the highest-grossing film series of all time, having grossed over $6 billion worldwide.
In March 2019, Marvel Studios regained the film rights to the X-Men characters through Disney's acquisition of Fox, with the intention of integrating the characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). As such, the majority of films in various stages of development were cancelled, and the series officially concluded as a result. However, Marvel Studios later reworked and developed one of these films, a third Deadpool film, as Deadpool & Wolverine (2024). The film served as a crossover between the series, the MCU, and other Marvel films produced by Fox. Additionally, principal cast members from the original X-Men trilogy are set to reprise their roles in Avengers: Doomsday (2026), appearing alongside an ensemble of MCU actors. The X-Men are expected to be rebooted within the MCU following Avengers: Secret Wars (2027), with a new film in development.[1]
