X-Men: First Class
We start in the '60s, where a young Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) are still allies. "X-Men: First Class" feels like a stylish retro spy thriller, complete with mutant powers and moral complexities that shape the X-Men universe. You'll learn how the X-Mansion and Cerebro came to be, and you'll see the rift between Xavier and Magneto. Wolverine makes a quick appearance, setting the stage for what's to come.
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Time travel, Sentinels, and a timeline reset that got people talking. "Days of Future Past" brings together the old and new X-Men teams. Logan (Hugh Jackman) is sent back to the '70s to stop an apocalyptic future from happening. The way Patrick Stewart and James McAvoy switch off playing Charles Xavier is a nice touch. This film is a game-changer. It changes the mutants' fate and rewrites the franchise's continuity. Bonus: Quicksilver's unforgettable kitchen scene.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
This film might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you want to get the full story of Logan's background, from his childhood to the Weapon X program, you've got to check out "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Find out how he got his adamantium claws and why his memory is all over the place. Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth is impressive, and you'll find hints of other mutants like Gambit and the early concept of Deadpool.
X-Men: Apocalypse
Fast forward to the '80s, where the ancient mutant Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac) awakens and causes chaos. "X-Men: Apocalypse" introduces us to younger versions of heroes like Jean Grey (Sophie Turner), Cyclops (Tye Sheridan), and Storm (Alexandra Shipp). Logan's quick cameo has a fan-favorite moment: his "berserker rage" in a Weapon X setting. It's a powerful, wordless scene.
X-Men
The film that started it all in 2000. This was Hugh Jackman's first time playing Wolverine, and he was joined by Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier and Ian McKellen as Magneto. "X-Men" comes after "Apocalypse," where we see Logan join the team, find his place among the mutants, and unravel his memories. The Brotherhood of Mutants, the first real confrontations, and the iconic X-Mansion make their debut in X2: X-Men United. William Stryker becomes a big deal, and the attack on the X-Mansion is one of the best parts of the series. The original cast has great chemistry, and you'll see more of Rogue (Anna Paquin), Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), and Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming). The ethics of mutant control and Cerebro are more important here.
X-Men: The Last Stand
The mutant cure storyline, the rise of the Phoenix Force, and heart-wrenching choices make "The Last Stand" a film you can't watch casually. Famke Janssen really shines as Jean Grey, and Logan is key to the emotional climax. Even though the reviews were mixed, this chapter is key for his character development and has consequences for future events.
The Wolverine
An underrated solo adventure, "The Wolverine" is set in Japan and feels like a stand-alone thriller with samurai, yakuza, and a Logan grappling with his immortality. This film shows him more vulnerable than ever, both physically and emotionally. It takes place after "The Last Stand" and looks at the loss and trauma he experienced. The post-credit scene sets the tone for "Days of Future Past."
Logan
Turn off the lights, silence your phone, and prepare for a film you'll never forget. "Logan" isn't your typical superhero movie. It's raw, emotional, and brutally hones, a fitting conclusion for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. In a dystopian future, Logan takes care of ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart at his best) while protecting young mutant Laura (Dafne Keen). The black-and-white version, "Logan Noir," is a good choice for a second viewing. This masterpiece is a game-changer.
Deadpool & Wolverine
Finally, the team-up we've all been waiting for. "Deadpool & Wolverine" is a blast. It's like a match made in heaven for Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool's humor and Wolverine's sarcasm and fighting style. It's probably set after "Logan," and with all the multiverse stuff (and maybe a TVA?) anything could happen. Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) is a new villain who's sure to bring back nostalgia, chaos, and mutant madness.
Your Perfect Mutant Movie Night
Whether you start with "First Class" or dive straight into "Logan" for maximum impact, this Wolverine movie marathon is the way to rediscover the Fox Marvel Universe. You'll get to experience mutant powers, timeline rewrites, and iconic performances from actors like Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender. Hey, just a heads-up: remember to pack snacks! This isn't some kind of all-day binge. Plan it like a miniseries, invite your friends, and play your favorite X-Men theme on repeat. And if you're all in, check out the full X-Men timeline. Trust us, it's worth it.
