To watch X-Men in order, start with X-Men '97: Season 1 and follow the 6 titles below in story order, ending (for now) with Deadpool & Wolverine. Mutants are arriving in the MCU through Deadpool & Wolverine and X-Men ’97, on the road to the MCU’s own X-Men.

X-Men FAQ

What order should I watch X-Men in?

Follow the list above, which is in story order. It differs from release order in 2 places: X-Men '97: Season 1 and X-Men '97: Season 2 came out later than their story is set, so they sit earlier here. Release order works too, if you’d rather see things the way audiences did.

How many titles feature X-Men?

6 so far (3 films and 3 series seasons), released from 2022 to 2026, covering Phases 4 to 6 of the MCU, with 2 more announced. That’s about 24h 44m of viewing.

How long does it take to watch every X-Men appearance?

About 24h 44m for all 6 released titles. At two hours an evening, that’s roughly 13 sittings.

Do I need to watch the whole MCU to follow X-Men?

No. These 6 titles tell the team’s own story. Of these, 2 are graded Essential, so start with those if you’re short on time.
