X-Men Movies?

Wsg leading up to Doomsday/Secret wars I’ve never seen the x-men movies or Wolverine movies and was curious if it would be best if I saw them so I’ll be more familiar with doomsday characters. I’m willing to watch all of them but are there any I should steer clear of that aren’t really important/js aggressively mid?

X-Men

X-Men 2

X-Men: First Class*

X-Men- Days of Future Past

Logan

you should be good with that

Goldman2502025-12-29 08:24

Yeah, these are widely considered to be the best four, and also, it’s this cast who are returning, not the younger cast from First Class.

Tityfan8082025-12-29 08:24

How could you leave out first class bruh?

Romnonaldao2025-12-29 08:38

you right

Bosch19712025-12-29 16:09

The third xmen has a fair amount of Beast.

Romnonaldao2025-12-29 18:29

true. First class and Days have a lot more though

FX1142025-12-30 08:21

Different Beast, though.

Romnonaldao2025-12-30 09:05

Actually, its the same. First Class wasn't a reboot. It was treated like the history of the X-Men for the original films, despite the contradictions. (The X-Men films were full of them). So the First Class Beast is just a younger version of the X-Men 3 Beast

FX1142025-12-30 18:35

Yes, it's literally the same Beast, but watching Hoult's Beast isn't going to prepare you for the return of Grammer's Beast.

Hot-Hovercraft-43872026-01-15 19:50

X3 is bad movie, don’t get me wrong, but since Kelsey Grammar is returning it’s probably worth watching once to familiarize yourself with the character.

Ordinary-Chain-80472025-12-29 09:18

I would suggest watching them in release order by timeline skipping all the bad ones (besides last stand cuz it’s important) it goes

First class

Origins wolverine (just watching the video games cutscenes honestly)

X1

X2

Last stand

The wolverine

DOFP

Deadpool 1 and 2

Logan

Deadpool 3

To add on to this, the timeline for the Fox movies make little to no sense or at the very least, the studio cared little about making it clear. If OP does watch them, just watch X1, X2, Last Stand, Origins, The Wolverine and Logan only to know who they are. DOFP going into Logan makes no sense as just a couple of years after DOFP's ending, the mutants are now on the verge of extinction while Prof X is basically senile.

The younger Fox X-Men also seem to veer off into a different timeline since the likes of Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Mystique and Jean Grey go off on wildly different stories compared to X1 and X2.

Deadpool would be skippable as I doubt the characters will be in Doomsday.

zerosdomain2025-12-29 10:48

The timeline makes perfect sense. People say it doesnt because they dont understand it

Suspicious-Word-75892025-12-29 10:51

Jean Grey becomes Dark Phoenix twice? Mystique is dead in one movie then comes back unscathed in another film?

zerosdomain2025-12-29 10:53

Literally time travel. Jean became dark pheonix they history was reset and she became it again. Mystique never came back after she died

mrbaryonyx2025-12-29 19:24

it's dumb, I know

zerosdomain2025-12-29 10:50

You forgot apocalypse and new mutants. No point watching and skipping parts of the story

Ordinary-Chain-80472025-12-29 19:48

It’s way more confusing with them also op said no bad movies

zerosdomain2025-12-29 19:50

Its not confusing in the slightest.

Pliskin142025-12-29 14:17

You suggest release order then proceed to give a chronological order...

emptylawn02025-12-29 14:51

Thank you, that boggled my mind for a second lol

AmishAvenger2025-12-29 09:37

I mean…

You have a *year*…

CaptHayfever2025-12-29 09:47

I suspect you won't *need* to have watched them, so long as you have a passing familiarity with who the characters are. But most of them are good, so I certainly wouldn't tell you NOT to watch them. :)

ElBorracho20002025-12-29 10:22

X-Men

X2

X-Men: First Class

The Wolverine

X-Men: Days of Future Past

X-Men: Apocalypse

Logan

Deadpool 1 & 2

Deadpool & Wolverine

Serawasneva2025-12-29 10:38

You don’t need to see all of them.

People are gonna go ahead and recommend all sorts of films, but you really don’t have to.

The only ones that are NECESSARY are:

X1, X2, X3, Days of Future Past, and probably the Deadpool films if he appears. Logan has some context for Deadpool and Wolverine, but I don’t think it’s necessary (you should watch it though cos it’s great).

The rest you can watch if you wanna, but they aren’t necessary.

cocopopped2025-12-29 21:42

I thought we're supposed to pretend X3 doesn't exist - for good reason too (it's shit)

RatchetHero10062025-12-30 02:24

No we’re not. It has events that matter. Yeah, it wasn’t great. But its events being undone is a significant part of DoFP.

NamelessGamer_12025-12-29 13:07

Just don't watch X-Men Dark Phoenix. In my opinion, that is one of the worst superhero movies ever made. The rest are at least watchable/entertaining

AustinAlexanderK972025-12-30 02:11

I asked for it for my birthday because I wanted to complete the collection.

That bad, huh?

NamelessGamer_12025-12-30 13:45

I think the introduction scene is pretty good but aside from that I didn't like the rest at all. Once again, Dark Phoenix gets sidelined to Jessica Chastain's alien character who becomes the villain for some reason. Plus it's also really boring. I honestly think The Last Stand did the Dark Phoenix arc better, and that's saying a lot because I don't really like The Last Stand either

cocopopped2025-12-29 21:45

You don't have to watch them all at all.

If you watch just 1, make sure it is X Men Origins: Wolverine.

paperbuddha2025-12-29 21:47

Watch them all, it’s the god damn X-Men, you’ll have a good time.

RatchetHero10062025-12-30 02:23

X-Men

X2

X-Men: The Last Stand

The Wolverine

X-Men: First Class

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Deadpool

Logan

Deadpool 2

Deadpool & Wolverine

These will give you the most complete story while also cutting out the superfluous/not so great stuff.

pje11282025-12-30 03:26

You probably won't need to, but I'd recommend the original trilogy, plus First Class and Days of Future Past, just because they're pretty good (though some might argue with the third one, I still enjoy it). In terms of the Wolverine, I doubt you'll need them for Doomsday since he's not even in the cast, but The Wolverine is pretty good and Logan is excellent. You can avoid Origins though.

marvelcomics222025-12-30 03:35

Most people don't tend to like The Last Stand, Origins Wolverine, Apocalypse, Dark Phoenix, and The New Mutants. I recommended watching everything since you're up for it because you might end up liking it.

Acrobatic_Access82592025-12-30 06:43

Thank you all I’ve decided to go with the following:

X-Men

X2: X-Men United

X-Men: The Last Stand

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

X-Men: First Class

The Wolverine

X-Men: Days of Future Past

X-Men: Apocalypse

Logan

B_Wayne_88332025-12-30 06:57

So all of them except Deadpool and dark phoenix? The Deadpool movies will likely be important for secret wars

Acrobatic_Access82592025-12-30 07:19

So sorry I forgot to specify I have seen the Deadpool movies 🤦🏾‍♂️

B_Wayne_88332025-12-30 07:20

Gotcha. At that point, just watch dark phoenix too. You'll have seen every single X-men movie. It's not good, but there's some cool parts in it, and it's not super long either. Might as well just watch them all

Acrobatic_Access82592025-12-30 08:10

Ok bet I’ll check it out ty ^^

Acrobatic_Access82592026-01-01 09:14

Oh god what the hell were they thinking when making The Last Stand no wonder they rebooted the franchise they effectively killed the original saga with this straight cheeks writing.
