Where To Stream All X-Men Movies Now That Deadpool 3 Is Out

Deadpool & Wolverine, aka Deadpool 3, is now in theaters. Now’s the time to get caught up by watching every X-Men movie in the franchise before or after you see the new film. While there’s no official order to watch them, there is a general consensus based on how the timelines flow or which events in the movies connect the dots (and Deadpool’s jokes).

There are several ways to enjoy your mutant marathon, so we’ve outlined two ways to do it if you want to immerse yourself in the canon. Some fans may want to create alternate options or check out one of the dozens of lists and videos that explain complex timelines. Yes, the much-maligned X-Men Origins: Wolverine is on here, so it’s up to you if you want to watch it, but you should absolutely binge X-Men ’97 for a little razzle-dazzle.

The best part is that streaming everything is easy because they’re all in one place: Disney Plus.

X-Men order by timeline

Here’s one suggestion if you want to stream according to timeline stories, which may tie certain plot points together more efficiently. X-Men: Days of Future Past is one of the most important films in the franchise because it involves time travel. Wolverine lives in 2023, where Sentinels hunt and take out mutants. To prevent this outcome, he jets back in time to 1973 to find Bolivar Trask, creator of the Sentinels. The 2023 X-Men crew knows that Trask’s death sets off the chain of events that lead to the glum future. What happens in this film is an adjustment, or reset, for the events in X-Men, X2, Last Stand and the Wolverine movies.

Because Logan is set in 2029, it’s listed at the end here.
