X-Men film series

The X-Men film series adapts Marvel’s mutant characters across an interconnected but increasingly time-bending continuity. Beginning with X-Men in 2000, the films move between the original ensemble, younger versions of Professor X and Magneto, Wolverine-led stories and later mutant spin-offs, with themes of identity, prejudice and coexistence running throughout.
