The cinematic history of the X-Men is complicated, to say the leastNow it will get more complicated when we have to include it in the chronological order of Marvel movies and series. It’s not a little. Not only because of the number of movies, but also because there were so many timelines, created in the case of the “X-Men” by “Days of Future Past,” as well as decisions they later ended up regretting.

Although many still accuse The Matrix (Lilly and Lana Wachowski, 1999) of overindulging in black skin that prevented them from seeing Logan in yellow, its resounding box office results belied Fox’s initial fear that it all might blow up in the dark. An expensive screen, which is why the producer did not dare to bet on the extreme, noticing in some designs that it was too cheap. Yes, we’re talking about poor Sabretooth.
