As the era of superhero movies continues to thrive, revisiting and rewatching the classics has become a necessary ritual. With Deadpool & Wolverine prepares to hit the screens, it’s the perfect time to take a walk down memory lane and revisit the 11 mutant movies and two Deadpool movies from 20th Century Fox.
In the early 2000s, the superhero genre was still finding its footing, with iconic figures like Superman and Batman paving the way. It was the time of X-Men’s protagonist, Wolverine, portrayed by Hugh Jackman, and the character’s cinematic escapades made him a mainstream figure.
Before the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine hits the screens, let’s revisit the X-Men franchise and explore the eleven mutant movies and two Deadpool movies that came before.
The X-Men franchise has had its fair share of hits and misses, but each installment has contributed to the rich world of the X-Men universe. From the 2000’s X-Men, which set the stage for all future mutant movies, to the 2017 masterpiece Logan, which redefined the Wolverine character, each film has added depth and complexity to the franchise.

Some standouts in the franchise include X-Men: Days of Future Past, which masterfully tied the original X-Men trilogy with the new cast, and Deadpool, which was praised for its accuracy in bringing the beloved comic character to life. Others, like X-Men: The Last Stand, fell short of expectations, trying to cram too much into a two-hour runtime.
The franchise has also explored different genres, such as horror in The New Mutants, which, despite its PG-13 rating, showed promise. The Wolverine, directed by James Mangold, showcased the character’s journey to Japan and set the stage for future success.
As fans prepare for the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine, revisiting the X-Men franchise is a must. From the iconic performances of Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart to the zany humor of Deadpool 2, each film has contributed to the rich world of the X-Men universe. So, buckle up, grab some popcorn, and get ready to revisit the Foxverse before the two superheroes unite on the big screen.
