As if that wasn’t confusing enough, by the end of the movie, Future Wolverine successfully changes the past, potentially erasing the entire 2023 timeline we just witnessed as well as all the events that happened in X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand.
Future Wolverine ( Hugh Jackman) has his consciousness sent back to his 1973 self so he can prevent Bolivar Trask ( Peter Dinklage) from using Mystique’s ( Jennifer Lawrence) blood to create indestructible Sentinels in the future. So technically most of the action of X-Men: Days of Future Past takes place in the year 1973, but it’s also a future-set movie that simultaneously takes place in the year 2023. The film is set against the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis. This prequel is the earliest-set X-Men movie in the universe, with most of the action taking place in the year 1962 as a young Charles Xavier ( James McAvoy) teams up with a young Erik Lensherr ( Michael Fassbender) to track down a former Nazi mutant scientist ( Kevin Bacon).

Unraveling the X-Men timeline is a bit of a challenge due to the franchise’s malleability over the years – semi-reboots and prequels and spinoffs all kept the series fresh, but complicated its continuity. Indeed, the X-Men movies are not just fun, they’re complicated. That combination of human drama and high-flying spectacle made X-Men wildly popular, spawning a franchise that has thus far comprised 13 feature films diverse in tone, cast, and of course time period. With 2000’s X-Men, the comic book series was adapted as a story about humanity first and foremost, drawing parallels to the civil rights movement and the struggle of minorities everywhere. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe whose appearances in the film series have long been anticipated.Few franchises have been as integral to the evolution of the superhero movie genre than X-Men, which helped usher in a new era of comic book movies alongside films like Blade and Spider-Man. Leading up to the events of “X-Men,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Hugh Jackman reprises the role that made him a superstar – as the fierce fighting machine who possesses amazing healing powers, retractable claws and a primal fury.
