Timeline
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)


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

Article title
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)


 * 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)
 * Absolutemont! Could you open an official move discussion? 77.92.145.214 (talk) 15:14, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * 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
Deadpool and Wolverine exists now 216.73.73.66 (talk) 15:56, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * 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)


 * Deadpool & Wolverine is labeled as a sequel to Deadpool 2 though. One could argue that the film is a crossover between the X-Men film series and the MCU. As it primarily acts as a direct continuation of Deadpool's story (and now maybe Laura's story) from the X-Men film series. --71.188.103.15 (talk) 19:45, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Carrying over characters from the X-Men film series into a primarily MCU-set and developed film does not mean it is also part of the X-Men film series, as this is taken from a real-world perspective. Deadpool & Wolverine was developed as an MCU film, and is not said to be a "crossover" with the X-Men films, just repurposing some of those characters. We also do not say Spider-Man: No Way Home is a crossover with the prior Spidey films. Trailblazer101 (talk) 01:23, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Both Spider-Man: No Way Home and Deadpool & Wolverine are listed as superhero crossovers on this site though. Both their premises fit perfectly with the definition of a crossover, as they are the placement of discrete fictional characters/settings into the context of a single story. This is the first time I'm seeing someone say that No Way Home wasn't a crossover between the three Spidey series. --71.188.103.15 (talk) 02:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Just because these are something by definition does not mean it has to be directly stated, especially in the lead of the article. This is simply WP:UNDUEWEIGHT and not the main aspect of this film specifically, as it is a crossover between multiple other franchises, as well. No Way Home is a crossover with the others by definition, but that doesn't mean we ought to state that in the lead there either. Trailblazer101 (talk) 03:56, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
