X-Men is an American superhero film series based on the X-Men, a group of characters created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for comic books published by Marvel Comics. Encompassing thirteen live-action films, it was produced by 20th Century Fox and Marvel Entertainment from 2000 to 2020.
Throughout the 1980s, Marvel embarked on efforts to create film versions of the X-Men stories. After a prolonged development period, Fox purchased the copyrights in 1993 and developed a trilogy comprising X-Men (2000), X2 (2003), and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). A succession of films followed, expanding the fictional universe. Plans for a reboot led to the production of prequel films chronicling the X-Men as young people, from X-Men: First Class (2011) to Dark Phoenix (2019). Each film was directed and written by various individuals and features a large ensemble cast. Fox oversaw the creation of a trio of Wolverine-centric films, two films centering on Deadpool, and The New Mutants (2020) as X-Men spinoffs. The studio's television networks division produced Legion and The Gifted (both 2017–2019) tangential to the films.
