It is a sequel to X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), the twelfth installment in the X-Men film series, and the fourth and final installment of the prequel films. It marks the first main X-Men film without the involvement of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and the last to be produced by Bad Hat Harry Productions, though the company was uncredited due to sexual assault allegations made against Bryan Singer in 2019.
