While the X-Men movie franchise fizzled out, the new animated series, “X-Men ’97,” reignites the classic spirit of the original cartoon and the comic books. With a fast-paced narrative, stunning action sequences, and a nuanced portrayal of the characters, “X-Men ’97” provides a fresh take on the mutants’ world that surpasses the limitations of the film franchise.
With Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’, we take a look at all the actors who’ve brought the iconic X-Men character to life, ranking them from worst to best.
The recent finale of X-Men ’97 has reignited the desire for a resurgence of X-Men video games. The iconic mutant superhero team has been largely neglected in the gaming space since the early 2000s, despite their enduring popularity and relevance to social issues. The absence of an X-Men game of the caliber of X-Men Legends, a groundbreaking superhero RPG, is particularly felt. The article proposes that the success of X-Men ’97 and the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine film, as well as the continuing success of isometric RPGs like Diablo IV, create an opportune moment for a successful revival of the X-Men Legends franchise or a full-fledged X-Men sequel. It also argues that the diversity and storytelling potential of the X-Men should be embraced by allowing multiple developers to create games based on the franchise. With Marvel’s Wolverine in the works at Insomniac Games, the article expresses excitement for the future of X-Men video games while emphasizing the need for further exploration and development of this rich superhero universe.
Famke Janssen, who played Jean Grey in the X-Men movies, has hinted that she may return to the role in the upcoming ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ movie. Janssen has not been seen in a main X-Men role since X-Men: The Last Stand, but she did make cameos in Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past. The idea of Janssen returning as Jean Grey is not out of the realm of possibilities, as ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ will deal with the multiverse, which could lead them to different X-Men universes. Fans can find out if Janssen is reprising her role as the Phoenix when ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ hits theaters on July 26.
Unlike other franchises, the X-Men movies haven’t been released entirely in chronological order. To make matters even more confusing, 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past created an alternate timeline which wiped out the events of some of the films. So if you want to see all the X-Men movies, just what order should you watch them in before seeing Deadpool and Wolverine? By our calculation, it’s less confusing to watch the original timeline chronologically, before doing the same with the alternate timeline.
The trailer for the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie has fueled speculation about whether Charles Xavier, also known as Professor X, will make an appearance.

The latest trailer for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ has sparked mixed reactions among fans, particularly regarding Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine costume. While the character has traditionally worn a yellow and blue suit in the comics, the upcoming film features a sleeveless version of the costume, which has upset some fans who believe it ruins the iconic look. The sleeveless costume does, however, mark the first time Jackman’s Wolverine has worn a suit resembling its comic book counterpart, prompting excitement from other fans.
