# Talk:X-Men (film series)

I'm not entirely familiar with this series, but on trying to read it, I'm not sure what makes Deadpool as part of the series for example (I have no idea if it is or not, but nothing in the article tells me why it is considered part of it.) It's been a long time since this article passed as a GA here when there was only three X-Men films (simpler times!) but since then, a copious amount of information has been added that does not really clarify specific details about terms that have been tagged for a few months. For example, if a film takes place in the same universe as another, is it still in a series? Other content seems to have sources that fail some standards (like the soundtrack section). I've tagged some material, and could probably find sources for basic things like cast, etc. but the more in-universe stuff is a bit out of my ballpark as I haven't seen any of these films since the third one. :) Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:51, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Deadpool is a spin-off of X-Men movies. 94.254.159.31 (talk) 14:33, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
okay, but you need a source to back this up and even if that is the case is it an "X-Men" film and if so, how come? Wings and Frasier are spin-offs of Cheers, but we don't usually discuss them as being part of Cheers.  Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:10, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

The article says that Deadpool & Wolverine acted as the retroactive conclusion of the series. But what's the source of this claim? Because Kevin Feige recently stated that Marvel wants to use Deadpool and Wolverine as much as possible.
"The plans with Deadpool and Wolverine will always be the same: we're always wondering where we can fit them in, and how fast,"

And according to Daniel Richtman. Marvel wants a sequel to Deadpool & Wolverine after Secret Wars. So unless there is a source claiming that the film is a conclusion to the series, I don't think the article should be making that claim. 71.188.103.15 (talk) 04:31, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure how reliable Omelete's interpretation of this is, because that film is officially an MCU film and not part of the Fox X-Men film series, and definitely not its conclusion. Also, Richtman is not a reliable source, and there have been no official movement on a sequel to that film. I and others have attempted to remove instances of this film being labeled as part of this series but others persistently readd it without evidence. Trailblazer101 (talk) 04:59, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
That's a direct quote from Kevin Feige. Not an interpretation by Omelete. So yeah, apparently Marvel wants to use the characters more. That shouldn't be surprising since Patrick Stewart teased at more Fox X-Men last year, The Marvels mid-credit scene teased at more Fox X-Men, and Deadpool & Wolverine made over a billion dollars at the Box Office. I'm not saying that Richtman's word is confirmation, but he has been right about a lot things in the past and what he says has a lot of support behind it. I just don't think we should be calling this a conclusion as the evidence so far suggests the contrary.
Also, X-Men '97 is considered to be a continuation of Fox's animated X-Men series; it is just under Marvel Studios now. So why shouldn't Deadpool & Wolverine be considered to be a continuation of Fox's live-action X-Men series under Marvel Studios? I seriously don't see the difference. 71.188.103.15 (talk) 18:02, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Marvel Studios has been incorporating characters from Fox's X-Men films into the MCU, yes, but we cannot use that to say Deadpool & Wolverine concludes Fox's X-Men film series as that would be WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:OR. Feige has not said that. Richtman's comments are irrelevant and should be taken as truth here. Of course Marvel wants to use more of these characters again, but that does not confirm anything is happening or what you are saying it does here. Deadpool & Wolverine is an MCU film that carries over parts of the Fox films, but it is not confirmed to conclude that film series. You would need a much better source to say that.

I saw your edit. I'm not sure how you can say that Reynolds's wording is "ambiguous". He literally says he is writing an ensemble related to Deadpool. I went back and watched it again, it isn't really ambiguous. 71.188.103.15 (talk) 15:31, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
That doesn't mean that that is something that will actually eventuate or is in any actual development. Until we have more clarity on what this potential project is, it should not be given heavy weight in the lead as part of this franchise. Trailblazer101 (talk) 15:33, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
Deadpool & Wolverine is a movie from both series and should be listed here and not just separated into Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is the 14th and possibly final film in this series. ~2025-33937-02 (talk) 22:30, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
You are sabotaging yourself by deliberately not writing that it is part of this series, but we will stand our ground and will not give up until it is written that it is the 14th film in this series here. ~2025-33937-02 (talk) 22:42, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

It'd be more relevant than legion is 38.23.180.14 (talk) 04:17, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

The MCU is not part of the X-Men film series. Legion is (which makes it a franchise, not a film series, but that just opens up a can of worms). InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:49, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
