What does 1st, 2nd and past refers to in the timeline? We are talking about X-Men Origins Wolverine so what is the "2nd" of X-Men Origins Wolverine? Redjedi23 (talk) 09:08, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Nobody knows? Redjedi23 (talk) 17:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Most likely, 1st refers to the first scenes that are set around the 1800s, while 2nd refers to the main setting of the film in the 1970s. —El Millo (talk) 19:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Article title edit

Latest comment: 5 months ago4 comments4 people in discussion

This was a discussion at various times years ago when this franchise was still actively producing films, but now that it has ended and hindsight gives more clarification -- is this really the best title for the article currently? Wouldn't something along the lines of X-Men (20th Century Fox franchise) be a better title, given the fact that there is more within the franchise than just films? Secondly, the MCU is producing its own version of the X-Men. Thoughts?--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 14:19, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Better name is “X-Men (Fox Series)”; it changes one word “Film” to “Fox” and changes the meaning. Legion aired on Fx, the movies 20th Century Fox, and the Gifted on Fox produced by 20th Television. Doremon764 (talk) 06:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Absolutemont! Could you open an official move discussion? 77.92.145.214 (talk) 15:14, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I have always thought (film series) was an odd choice for disambiguation, considering Legion and The Gifted are part of the franchise, but X-Men (franchise) is far too ambiguous. I think X-Men (Fox franchise) is a fine name, but I am ambivalent — Fox officially calls the brand "X-Men Movies" (back then, they had a website and app), and the TV series are often overshadowed by the films in sources.

Deadpool and Wolverine exists now 216.73.73.66 (talk) 15:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

That film is not part of this X-Men film series and is a part of the MCU. Shawn Levy has also said this isn't technically Deadpool 3. Trailblazer101 (talk) 16:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
