Just because someone stumbles and loses the way doesn't mean they're lost forever. That's the best quote from Professor X & it's true in real life too.

[@davidjuby7392]

that is an amazing statement

[@pr00009]

always leaves room for improvement. but sadly, some doors are really truly closed

[@reactswithjax]

It's such a beautiful quote!

It’s a line he repeats, but I won’t spoil where.

[@justingary5322]

@@reactswithjax Exactly 💯. We love your reaction videos Jax and you'd be a great Jean Grey or Rogue cosplay 😄. The X-Men movies have gone through so much continuity changes with the Time travel and timeline alterations it's crazy 😧.This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant

[@smockboy]

@@razorsfury6519 1.) In this particular continuity (i.e. First Class through to at least Apocalypse) it's *heavily* implied that Quicksilver is the biological son of Magneto, particularly in the next movie. 2.) Whether or not Magneto is the biological father of Wanda and Pietro Maximoff in the Marvel 616 comics continuity is very much debatable depending on which comics writer has creative control of the plot and which of the *many* retcons regarding their origins that those writers have done over the course of the comics you happen to favour - but even then, regardless of where you land on that, the established lore of the Marvel 616 continuity has little to no bearing on any of the Marvel movie continuities. Almost all of the characters in the X-Men movie franchises have back-stories that differ substantially from their Marvel 616 counterparts.

So what happend was, them changing the past created 2 different timelines. Everything that happened in X Men 1-3 was wiped away as that was the timeline where the sentinels took over. So Jean would be alive as well as Scott etc. It also means that the timeline of the younger cast is split now and takes on it's own version of events.

There is an extended version of this movie called "X-Men: Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut." In it all of Rogue's scenes that were removed from the theatrical cut were put back, including several other alternate scenes with Magneto and Ice Man.

This film is based on one of the most famous X-Men comic book arcs. In the comics, it's actually Kitty that goes back in time

[@reactswithjax]

Ooh! That's really interesting. I love Kitty's character.

[@michaelpytel3280]

@@reactswithjax In the comics Kitty does not have the power of time travel mind swapping, that power comes from Phoenix. Not Jean Grey, but her daughter Rachel Summers AKA Phoenix 2 , Rachel sends Kitty back in time and later time travels herself ( she time travels since this is before Rachel was born.) . The story is similar to Terminator. Time Travel to change the past to stop the killer robots of the future. Kitty can walk through walls and become intangible so almost nothing can hurt her. Wolverine taught Kitty martial arts.

[@KthulhuXxx]

@@reactswithjax As someone who's a big Kitty Pryde fan, I hate that both of the pop culture adaptations of the storyline either reduce her to a plot device (this film) or completely omit her altogether (the old animated series). She's one of the best characters of the franchise in the comics, IMO.

[@KthulhuXxx]

@@michaelpytel3280 A bit of a correction: at the time Rachel wasn't written as a Phoenix host, not was she even refereed to as Scott or Jean's daughter. She was just a mutant named Rachel who's power let her send Kitty's mind back into her past self.

​@@reactswithjaxIn the comics, it's Kitty and Colossus who are a couple. The intangible girl and the metal man.

[@SG-js2qn]

Glad to see you're catching some references! Yes, this movie was made AFTER Iron Man 2, so the scene with the Sentinels was indeed reminiscent of the similar scene at the Stark Expo.

[@reactswithjax]

Yes! It felt very similar to the Stark Expo!

[@acwolf92]

Funny Trivia: in the x-men universe whenever there's a dystopian future Logan's always the last to die lol

[@maximillianosaben]

P.S. There's only one thing that this movie left me hugely wanting. They gave us the best that Wolverine has looked yet - in that awesome future suit featuring bits of yellow, and with the grey streaks in his hair and the adamatium claws back - but we never got to see him in action against the sentinels. Plotwise makes sense, but such a darn shame.

[@qjinx1]

The Congressman @ 11:50 mentioning Cuba is Len Wein. He is the guy that created Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Storm, Colossus (The metal guy) and a couple others not present in the movies, one being the older brother of Warpath ( who spots the sentinels) I was friends with Len and talked Marvel characters with him every week because he hung out at the comic book shop in the San Fernando Valley where I worked. He even appeared in one of my fan movie shorts for Wizard magazine.

[@reactswithjax]

That is so cool! Thanks for pointing him out!

[@justingary5322]

WOW that's awesome 😎

[@yodudeyo100]

​@@reactswithjaxAlso, the guy who says there hasn't been an incident in ten years is Chris Claremont. He shaped the X-MEN into who we know them as today. After the single issue that Len did that introduced Storm, Nightcrawler, Colossus, Wolverine and such to the X-Men Claremont took over and wrote X-Men for the next 16 years straight. He wrote the original Days of Future Past story, The Phoenix saga, created Rogue, Gambit, Kitty, Jubilee and many more. He is also responsible for giving Magneto his Jewish backstory and friendship with Xavier. And so much more.

[@haystackbill6187]

The end credit scene was a reference to En Sabah Nur, aka Apocalypse, the very first mutant ever born. He was born in Ancient Egypt, and is a major enemy of the X-Men.

[@wobaguk]

I just assumed Quicksilver recorded himself a mixtape at super speed so it sounds right when he plays it back when hes fast.

[@reactswithjax]

That thought never crossed my mind!

[@dntm123]

As someone else has said, in the comic this is based on, Kitty is the one that gets sent back in time. But also, fun fact: the one to send her back in time was a character named Rachel Summers, the daughter of Scott and Jean.

[@billbill6094]

25:41 It doesn't... that's why Wolverine was sent back in time to stop it.

[@cmcgccjsl]

So close to "Logan", the ultimate mutant and comic book movie. "Logan", "The Dark Knight", and (in my opinion) "Infinity War/End Game are all in the discussion for the best comic book movies ever made. "Logan" deserved multiple Oscar nominations for the performances alone.

[@oliverconway6960]

It has been 10 years, but it feels like only yesterday that my brother and I went to see this at the cinema together.

[@reactswithjax]

That's so cool!!

[@billbill6094]

This movie came out a year before Age of Ultron, so it was our first introduction to Quicksilver on the big screen. It was actually a little disappointing when he appeared in the MCU, a little less interesting and killed off super early, the X-Men version is usually considered the better portrayal and it's why it was so HUGE when the actor came to play him in the MCU. But fun fact, both Quicksilvers had acted on-screen together before in the superhero film series Kick-Ass. AoU Quicksilver, Aaron Taylor Johnson, played Kick-Ass while X-Men Quicksilver, Evan Peters, played one of his best friends turned hero Ass-Kicker. The sentinels are probably the most famous X-Men "antagonist", they're usually giants about as tall as a building and are almost impossible to defeat. The island of Genosha, which was a nation that was a haven for mutants, was beset upon by sentinels and it caused the deaths of 16.5 million mutants. It was the first and biggest mutant genocide, that 16.5 was out of only 17.5. The mutants battling to stop future dystopias is kind of common in Marvel. The future is always extremely _bleak._ In this storyline Kitty was the one who travelled to the past.

[@nooneofconsequence1251]

The scene with Mystique discovering the autopsy photos including Azazel's carries more weight when you know that sometime between this and the last movie she and Azazel must have been lovers and had a baby (Nightcrawler). She must have just barely been keeping it together. (ignoring the very dumb retcon from a year or so ago, so after this film was made)

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

That’s what’s kinda fun about the movies. You can add/subtract comic storylines if you want to make little side plots …

[@TheYoungDoctor]

Kitty has gone a few codenames in the comics: Ariel , Sprite and Shadowcat.

[@KthulhuXxx]

To add a few more: Star-Lord / Star-Lady, Captain Kate Pryde (not really an alias, I guess), Red Queen, and (currently) Shadowkat

[@daniels.5262]

It's interesting to see how the sentinel ignored Bishop and went straight to Storm. They knew she was the biggest threat of the group

I've heard the Rogue Cut is great!

[@PrinceIMC]

I kinda understand that the more metal and the stronger the natural magnetic fields around Magneto the greater his range. That’s why this prison and the plastic prison from X-Men and X2 can hold him. But when he goes to the north or south magnetic poles he can affect the whole world.

[@LaerteSatan]

The Rogue Cut Version of this movie includes scenes with Rogue, Magneto and Bobby doing badass stuff. Also I don't know if you may noticed but Quicksilver gave us a hint about him being Magneto's son in the elevator. And about Magneto being able to manipulate the magnetic field around the planet is very true haha but he need to go to the North Pole to do so for some range matters.

[@reactswithjax]

I've heard the Rogue Cut is great! I'd love to see it. Also, I did catch that little hint in the elevator. I wasn't sure if they were going to further expand on that story line or if they were just giving a wink to the comics. We shall see! I had no idea he needed to go to the North Pole to do that!

[@LukeLovesRose]

Days of Future Past is arguably the greatest superhero movie ever made. It's smart, slick and tight. Every time I watch this movie, I have the same reactions to everything that happens and Ive seen Days of FuturePast many times since it first came out. Its almost as if James Cameron made it himself. 🤔 Days of Future Past is a timeless masterpiece. The Quicksilver scenes alone put this movie on another level. Everyone went into this movie expecting to hate him and his look. But thanks to expert craftsmanship, Quicksilver INSTANTLY won over almost everyone. Then Evan Peters totally earns all the love with his delivery of lines like "WhipLAAASH." The timeless complexity of the Paris Peace Conference scene is another great example of why Days of Future Past is the best. There is so much going on in one scene, it could be super easy for the audience to get lost. But the craftsmanship of the scene holds everything together, despite all of the tension and emotions.

[@mahgeetahh]

Wolverine in the "past" wouldn't disappear because it is still his original 1973 body, only his future mind is in it

[@michaelc628]

Don't forget, Jean can read minds too, at that moment I believe she read Logan's thoughts and memories

[@z3n_z]

Today would have been the perfect day for Jax to React 💯 X-Men: Days Of Future Past released 10 YEARS AGO, TODAY! 🔥🍿

[@angelohernandez6060]

While this film is great, it's not perfect. One big flaw is that sending people back in time is not in her power base. She phases through solid matter. Nothing to do with time manipulation. All of a sudden she has a new power. HUH?! In the original comic Kitty has just joined the X-MEN like I believe a few weeks before these events. In the future they send Kitty to the past not Woverine and what convinces them that it is Kitty from the future (because it was her mind not her body that was sent to her younger self) was her reaction to Nightcrawler. Present day Kitty was always uncomfortable around Kurt(Nightcrawler) because of his Demonic appearance. She's a sweet Jewish girl after all. When older Kitty saw him she hugged him and was so glad to see him because he had died in the battle in the future. And still doesn't explain her new power. The alternate "Rogue cut" of this film has a better scenario for the time travel. In that version Rogue absorbs someone's ability for time manipulation and combines it with telepathy to send Logans mind to his past self. Much better than Kitty pulling a new power out of her tail.

Magneto's power is not magnetic. He controls metals through some handwavium method. If he truly just affected magnetic fields, then he would only be able to control iron, steel, steel alloys, and other ferrous alloys.

Yep. Something I've been saying for years. He controls metal, regardless of whether it's magnetic or not. I can only assume that way back in the day, Stan Lee or Chris Claremont or whoever, didn't really know that much about magnetism, and didn't realize that not all metals are affected by magnetic fields.

[@michaelpytel3280]

You're thinking only of Ferromagnetism not Diamagnetism and Paramagnetism. Non ferrous metals and non metals can be temporarily magnetic under strong magnetic fields. Electricity and magnetism are connected, anything with an electric current can have a magnetic field and vice versa. Each electron on an atom acts like a magnet. Even Hydrogen atoms in water can act like magnets in MRI machines and Tokamak Fusion reactors.

[@callmeshaggy5166]

@@michaelpytel3280 I'm also (almost) certain atom colliders use magnetism to guide atomic particles through their circular structure at near-light speeds. On the other end, ferrous metals can also be made unreactive to magnetism, typically by heating.

Iceman is one of the most powerful mutants in the world. He holds back in the movies. The “robots” are sentinels. They were designed to take out mutants in anyway possible.

[@glennwelsh9784]

To be fair, there is *some* continuity in the X-Men world. Problem is, they don't do a great job maintaining it from movie to movie. The X-Men series kicked off well before the MCU made super-strict adherence to continuity across an entire shared cinematic universe a major selling point for movie franchises. So filmmakers would come and go within the franchise and were primarily concerned with telling the stories they wanted to tell, and there wasn't someone overseeing it all and keeping track of the little details from movie to movie to make sure they all added up. The X-Men movies also had to do some course correction when things weren't going well for the series.

I get Hoult is supposed to be young Beast but we never get to see him as that pacifist sophisticate.

Still a great performance though and I'm curious what other people think.

Mystique first appearing to Xavier as a child shows how much she can't really be trusted because she is much older then that. Mystique does not have healing abilities like Logan but her powers do allow her to keep her cells young prolonging her life, she is as old as Logan maybe even older. There are comics about Logan and Mystique knowing each other back in the west and have even been lovers at times before having his memories wiped, but Mystique constantly double crossing him gives Logan a natural distrust of her even if he doesn't remember her.

Excellent reaction!! This is the one i was waiting for, a fantastic movie! You're so funny!

[@js6729]

Hey Jax I really liked your reaction to this movie, if no one has said this, the body Charles transferred his Is conscious into in X-Men 3 was his twin brother who was essentially brain dead.

[@marksobremonte9734]

What I loved about this movie is the moment when the Professor is talking to his younger self. That is a "what if" moment that all of us asked ourselves. "What if you can talk to your younger self, what would you say and why?"

[@28starwarsfan]

Erik is such a an awesome and intriguing character, but I think that strong character and the empathy blind is too often to how dangerous an individual he is. He can be ruthless, short sighted, and controlled by emotions. An unstable individual with one of the strongest power sets. Not to say you shouldn't understand where he's coming from and want to help him, but so many people get killed and so much good is destroyed in their efforts to give him one more chance. It's hard.

[@sample.text.]

Quicksilver is far and away the greatest character in these newer X-Men movies imo. His scenes are 💋Chef's Kiss.

[@reactswithjax]

He is amazing!

[@THERE.ARE.4.LIGHTS.]

Really like this format with the movie in full screen and unblurred. 👍

[@briansingleton3818]

I've always wondered how does Logan get his adamantium back in the future. With this installment, Wolverine: Origins never happens.

[@805StrengthLab]

Best explanation would be magneto since he is the only one other than striker that can manipulate the metal.

Hi Jax! I was really excited to see the alert come over my phone that you’ve reacted to this movie! This is one of may favorites in the X-Men Universe, and I’m always up for a good time travel movie. I love the blending of the present day characters with the first class characters in this movie. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender are incredible actors…combine them with the likes of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, and the results were bound to be amazing. And I didn’t think Kevin Bacon could pull off being such a baddie, but man was he EVIL! I’ve really enjoyed following your journey through this series of movies, and just like with the MCU, you’re comments and observations have been insightful and intelligent. I’m excited to see how you interpret this movie as I watch along with you tonight. I’m sure I won’t be disappointed, as I truly believe you are one of the best reactors that I’ve had the pleasure to watch.

24:55 It seems that JFK's mutant power manifested as a telepathic form of persuasion. The ability to control minds and persuade people to do things. A form of hypnotic suggestion, which would explain why he was so "charming".

[@MattKeller]

At least you finally know why the Fox version of Quiksilver showing up many years later in WandaVision was such a big deal after the Fox acquisition. If you like this cast merging just wait until you start watching the Star Trek movies. You dont even need to watch the shows like most reactors do the movies are enough on their own. I'm also hoping you watch Hawkeye soon if you haven't already but that one may never leave Patreon if you do.

[@reactswithjax]

Seeing Quicksilver was so fun!! I haven't gotten to Hawkeye yet but I'm looking forward to seeing it!

[@sandrorocha790]

It doesn't make any sense that the Stryker at the end is Mystique. After all, Stryker really took Logan to do experiments.

Funny Discovery: In the brutal opening, when Warpath squares-off with a Sentinel, it is almost identical to the fate of 'Billy', another Native American point-man tracker from... Predator. The fun part is that in Last Stand, the character "Trask" was played by Predator star Bill Duke, 'Mac'. 😎💯

“Professor Xavier should take away certain people’s free will” hearing that and then calling it an ethical conundrum is insane😂😂

[@Taurus_Play]

The post-credits scene is a spoiler for the next movie = XMEN Apocalypse. Also in this scene there is a reference to the biblical story about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who will come before the end of the world. Plague, War, Famine and Death. God calls them and gives them the power to wreak havoc and destruction in the world. Enjoy watching the next movie about X-mutants it's worth it.

[@ChrisReise]

6:20 It is theorized that when Charles put his consciousness into that other body, that he is now projecting a mental image that makes OTHER people see him as Charles. There are others that say that he is in his twin brother's body, but that man in the post credit scene of X3 did not look like Charles.

Fun Theory: Charles is the ultimate empath. Erik...the Sociopath. In the Avengers-verse... Tony and Steve: Team Narc vs Team Emp

[@martywittenberg1427]

Magneto's powers as his younger version are still very much developing. As a class 5 mutant his powers are only limited to what he can feel or see. Hence why not just all materials that come near him are made of non-metals but also a cage or box is needed. Why will be obvious enough as his older self. But X-Men: Apocalypse shows it much better.

[@PhysicalMediaPreventsWea-bx1zm]

Someday you should watch the Rogue Cut. Basically it's the same movie but Rogue does everything that Kitty does in this movie! She's the one who sends Logan back in time. There's a story why Anna Paquin was replaced in the theatrical cut but I forgot it.

[@havok6280]

Not exactly. Rogue takes over after Logan stabs Kitty.

[@nickosmond]

It added like 15 to 20 minutes to the movie if that I really don’t understand why no one requested that version of the movie like if a movie has an extended or directors cut or blade runners the final cut for example you should always watch that version over original

That was a great scene!

[@oxhine]

Hey, Jacqueline! I absolutely love this movie! The fusion of both casts and the juggling of so many moving parts was near virtuosic! Had you seen THE ROGUE CUT, as was recommended, you would have seen Anna Paquin's Rogue brought back into the fold for a phenomenal action sequence in which Magneto and Charles really cut loose barely getting away with their lives from the Sentinels! DO NOT watch the films in release order! Follow this RECOMMENDED ORDER instead which keeps the multiple timelines orderly and enables the young cast to have a consecutive trilogy with "Days of Future Past" set in the 1970s, "Apocalypse" set in the 1980s, "Dark Phoenix" set in the 1990s and "Deadpool" set in the 2000s. "Deadpool" does NOT come next! The end-credit scene ties into "X-MEN: APOCALYPSE"! I rank this film higher than X2 because it came closer to approximating its comic book inspiration despite the "Days of Future Past" source material being a greater level of difficulty to adapt than "God Loves, Man Kills". I always give the X films latitude with respect to comic accuracy because they continue laying track for a locomotive that already left the station. Despite some unavoidable relationship and plot changes, this adaptation really captures the spirit of the Claremont era. The powerful duality of Charles and Erik remains the core of these films and you get a double dose of it here: as young antagonists making a temporary alliance and as weary, regretful veterans reconciling while facing extinction. JLaw's Mystique remains the moral fulcrum, Evan Peters' Quicksilver delivers a bravura showpiece stunt and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine gets to play in the same sandbox with the kids! The dystopic future sequence is particularly horrific apocalyptically presenting the deaths of iconic characters. New talent is showcased in that thrilling trademark style of powers used in concert with Blink's use of portals being an amazing highlight! Just like the use of the Cuban Missile Crisis in "First Class", "Future Past" also cleverly blends history into the mix with Nixon, the JFK assassination and the Zapruder-like footage of the Parisian incident. The dangling plot thread of Mystique-Stryker goes nowhere leaving Wolverine's story between now and "Apocalypse" open to speculation and the utopian ending that reunites the original cast leaves their parallel 21st-century adventures open to speculation. However, there's no shortage of X foes like Mr. Sinister, the Brood, Sauron, Bastion, Selene, Exodus, Proteus, Reavers, etc that could have come into play and plenty of unresolved contention between Mags and Charley that could have easily flared up providing fodder for numerous exploits. The speculation is part of the fun! RECOMMENDED VIEWING ORDER: X-Men X2: X-Men United X3: The Last Stand X-Men Origins: Wolverine X-Men: First Class The Wolverine: Extended Cut X-Men: Days of Future Past: The Rogue Cut X-Men: Apocalypse X-Men: Dark Phoenix Deadpool New Mutants Logan Deadpool 2 X-MEN TIMELINES: Egypt --> 1845 --> Nagasaki --> First Class --> DOFP --> Origins ------------------------------------------------> X1 --> X2 --> X3 --> Wolverine -------> New Mutants ---------------------------> Logan Egypt --> 1845 --> Nagasaki --> First Class --> DOFP ----------------> Apocalypse --> Dark Phoenix ------------------------------------------------> Deadpool --> Deadpool 2 -------> DOFP Utopia Egypt --> 1845 --> Nagasaki --> First Class --> DOFP ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> DOFP Dystopia
