INTRODUCTION

The X-Men films changed everything. When X-Men (2000) hit theatres, it redefined superhero cinema, proving that comic book adaptations could be serious, character-driven, and socially relevant.

Over the years, the franchise evolved, spanning multiple timelines, spin-offs, and reboots. From the original trilogy to the prequel series, and from Logan to Deadpool, the films explored different tones, themes, and storytelling approaches. Some leaned into political allegory, others embraced action spectacle, but all carried the core message of the X-Men – fighting for acceptance in a world that fears them.

The films also introduced major characters who would later influence the comics, such as X-23 in Logan and the deeper exploration of Magneto’s past in First Class. They weren’t just adaptations – they were expansions, adding new layers to the X-Men mythos.

Though the franchise has had highs and lows, its impact is undeniable. It paved the way for the modern superhero boom, proving that audiences were ready for complex, morally driven heroes.

Now, with Deadpool & Wolverine bridging the gap between the X-Men films and the MCU, the legacy of the X-Men movies continues – proving that their fight is far from over.
