Since 2000, there have been 11 X-Men movies, along with multiple Deadpool films and several X-Men TV shows. The franchise clearly has no shortage of adaptations, but in terms of success, it’s been a mixed bag. Films like 2017’s Logan redefined what comic book movies could be, while others, like 2020’s The New Mutants, are best forgotten.Now that Marvel Studios has regained the rights to the X-Men, the mutants are about to enter a brand new era, but the MCU shouldn’t shy away from the franchise’s past. While there have definitely been missteps, there’s also one X-Men film that’s perfect from start to finish: 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. The time-traveling story was a massive hit with both audiences and critics, and Marvel should take notes from the film as they prepare to reboot the X-Men.Not only does this setup give Hugh Jackman the chance to interact with the younger versions of X-Men characters introduced in the previous film, but it also creates a story with incredibly high stakes. In the film’s opening minutes, fan-favorite X-Men like Colossus and Iceman are slaughtered, and by the time Wolverine meets young Charles Xavier, he’s a depressed, alcoholic shadow of his former and future self. It’s clear that if Wolverine fails to change the past, everyone on Earth, humans and mutants alike, is doomed.
