How to Watch X-Men Movies in Order – A Streaming Guide

Updated on

If you’re wondering how to watch X-Men movies in order, we’re here to help with a streaming guide to the popular Marvel franchise. This list shows you where to watch every X-Men movie so you can fully enjoy the adventures of Wolverine, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Beast and Xavier's gifted youngsters. We'll also let you know whether you can watch X-Men on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and every other major streaming platform. You can also use this guide to find out where to watch X-Men movies online for free on services such as Tubi and Popcornflix.

The X-Men’s cinematic franchise includes 14 movies, a dramatic time shift and a recast of the franchise’s most iconic characters. The Marvel supergroup made their live action cinematic debut in 2000 with director Bryan Singer's X-Men. This groundbreaking superhero movie marked Hugh Jackman’s first appearance as Wolverine, alongside Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier and Ian McKellen as Magneto. It kickstarted a long-running franchise that includes two direct sequels (X2, X-Men: The Last Stand), 3 Wolverine spin-offs (Wolverine Origins, The Wolverine, Logan), a prequel tetralogy (First Class, Days of Future Past, Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix), and a Deadpool trilogy (Deadpool, Deadpool 2, Deadpool & Wolverine) starring Ryan Reynolds.

So, how do you watch all 14 X-Men movies in order? While Professor X and Magneto are both in their late 60s in X-Men (2000), the duo’s earliest appearance chronologically is in X-Men: First Class — set in the 1960s. This means there are two logical viewing orders for the X-Men franchise. You can either watch them in the order they were released in cinemas, or you can follow the story that began with Charles and Magnus’ mutant recruitment in the 1960s.
