Even Bryan Singer ignored events from his own films when he returned to the franchise.All of it was made even more convoluted by the ending of Days of Future Past.The best possible thing that could happen to this franchise is for the sale of Fox to Disney to go through and have Marvel Studios reboot the X-Men into the MCU.

Borstock said: They did, however, give us Kelsey Grammer as Beast, which was awesome.
rdvargas1 said: Just like Xmen Origins: Wolverine and the Wolverine, Last Stand should just be forgotten about completely. For me, Xmen, X2, First Class, DoFP, Logan, and Apocalypse are the only Xmen movies. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will eventually end up in the MCU.

Dormammu said: If Fox had any brains they would have featured the 5 original X-Men in the first trilogy with a proper Phoenix arc throughout, 'killing' Jean in the 2nd film and closing with Dark Phoenix in the 3rd film. In the 4th film the All-New X-Men (Storm, Wolvie, Colossus, etc) take over. Let them have their trilogy.THEN bring the originals back as X-Factor after Reed Richards finds Jean at the bottom of the Hudson river in her coma-cocoon, which they totally could have done since Fox holds the rights to the Fantastic Four as well. Have X-Factor and the X-Men duke it out over their respective mutant principles, only to discover they're all still on the same side.Of course, all of this would require someone at Fox having any sense.

Superhero movies weren't really a thing when X-men was released. At that point the Batman franchise had been killed by Joel Schumacher. We did have the Spider-man movies, but a team movie was by no measure a certain money maker. It makes sense to focus on the most well known X-men - I don't think it's a coincidence all the X-men in the first movie are on the core team in X-men the Animated Series...
