Hope Doomsday will address the 3 possible X-Men timelines

It feels like a bit of a missed opportunity if Doomsday doesn't address the different timelines that appear throughout all the X-Men movies. Both Deadpool and Wolverine messed with time in their movies and clearly messed things up quite a bit.

don’t think it would. there’s too much movie and characters to juggle.

I'd rather the X-Men stay in their own universe and eXist as an alternative to superheroes. It doesn't really make sense for mutants to be so hated when there's also the Fantastic Four running around. Wouldn't Asgardians like Thor, who are born superhuman normalize mutants too? Sure they share a universe in the comics but they already have for years so they can't stop now and the comics never acknowledge this and just ignore it.

The comics is also a much larger world where they step on each other's toes less.

Pretty sure there's way more than 3 at this point. There's at least 2 new ones just in Days of Future Past

Hell, X-Men The Last Stand isn't even the same timeline as X-Men and X-Men 2, since Kitty Pryde, Beast and other characters are portrayed as completely different.

I hope it doesn't. They really don't fit together and it's just too meta. Deadpool's meta, he made fun of it enough. They're just going to create an X-Men universe that suits their purpose. They're using the original actors so it may be fashioned on the 'good' timeline ending of Days or something. I think it should just be left at that. Don't try to reference the past.

I think they’ll say this world with Cyclops,Prof X,Beast,Binary,Nightcrawler and Mystique is Gambits world that Monica landed in and is on a collision course with the avengers so they don’t have to tie in the confusing continuity but I doubt beyond a throwaway line about that they mention it anymore.

I also presume whenever Deadpool and Wolverine arrive the fox world is already destroyed too so they don’t have to get into the logic of that either.

Based on the leaked concept art, I think the movie will start with Battleworld.

Address it how? Utterly confusing.
Not a missed opportunity…. More like a potential self-sabotage kinda situation.

I hope the opposite - hope it is completely separate from all of that.

mr_oberts2025-10-23 04:51

Not really necessary.

1. How, exactly, do you get 3 timelines from a 2-branch split?

2. How, exactly, is a 2-branch split confusing?

HankSteakfist2025-10-23 04:53

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that it won't.

For continuity’s sake here’s how I look at it:

Timeline 1: First Class, X-Men, X2, The Last Stand, The Wolverine, Days of Future Past.

Timeline 2 (DOFP alters the timeline to): First Class, Days of Future Past, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, DOFP ending.

Timeline 3 (I treat the following as another continuity altogether): Origins: Wolverine, Deadpool, Deadpool 2, New Mutants, Logan, Deadpool & Wolverine.

D&W explored others as well. And Multiverse of Mandess and The Marvels both show other timelines with the xmen.

I expect Doomsday to pick one timeline - probably the one from the Marvels and place versions of the first timeline’s xmen in it - that resemble but aren’t them at all. And this will intersect with the sacred timeline and with timeline 3 (Deadpool’s). There’ll be no mention of or tidying up of the existing Fox timelines.

D&W actually made the timelines worse by bringing a variant of Logan and Laura back to the present day in Deadpool’s timeline, 10 years before the original Wolverine canonically dies saving Laura. So there’s two of both of them running around. Messy. To me they’ve proven they don’t expect audiences to be thinking about it hard enough. DOFP and Apocalypse were the only films made with tidying up the continuity in mind.

DigificWriter2025-10-23 05:06

Nope.

The XMCU is explicitly only a 2-branch split, and is also far more simplistic and easier to understand than people try to pretend that it is.

Galadantien2025-10-23 05:09

Officially yes. My third timeline is a head canon removing films that present continuity errors with the others. I also like it because that third timeline presents a unified focus and the films within do reference each other.

I’ll grant that placing Logan at the end of Timeline 2 is canon. But honestly, anyone who finds Logan a tonally fitting conclusion to that timeline—given that it depicts the genetic breeding out of mutation and a bleak, dystopian end for the X-Men family—must care more about Logan as a character than about the X-Men as a whole or the broader themes of the series. Especially when you compare it to the hopeful Days of Future Past ending set just a few years earlier.

DigificWriter2025-10-23 05:15

So you made up a Branching Event that doesn't exist just because?

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Galadantien2025-10-23 05:19

I said that’s how I look at it, and that it’s a head-canon.
I’ve studied these films extensively as a viewer and a faneditor to tidy up the continuity, and that was my preferred solution given the series doesn’t have a unified vision and often falls victim to the studio being shortsighted or - even stating in interviews that continuity doesn’t matter. If you’re only interested in canon, I don’t disagree with your comment. No need to be rude.

DigificWriter2025-10-23 05:24

Your 'headcanon' makes things more confusing, not less, but you do you.

ShadesOfTheDead2025-10-23 05:24

They won’t.
