X-Men Cinematic Universe - Timeline (Revised & Original)

[selfishmisery]

I put X1 & X2 in Sept and Oct/Nov 2004, the official game in 2005 and X3 in 2006.


X1 has the world peace summit which is a bit hard to estimate a timeframe, but what narrows it down a bit is the scene where senator Kelly walks out of the ocean onto the beach which is packed with people. So that would imply a summer setting (June-Aug/Sept) I think I chose September because it's closer to Canada being cold and snowy and there was a real global summit happening in September 2004

X2 has a line of dialogue from Scott to Jean about her powers becoming a lot more stronger since she used them in X1, saying that a few months ago she couldn't even pick up a pencil with her telepathy and now she can hear someone on the other side of the world etc.
So at the very least we have to be 2 or more months after X1 but still be close to winter for the snow in Alberta but it can't be the following year as that would mess with the other dates in the 25yrs of Mutant progress advert. So to satisfy both of these I chose late Oct/early Nov 2004.

The Official game I know bridges the gap between X2 and X3 but it can't be too long after X2 and it has to be close enough to X3 as the end of the game sets up the sentinels in the beginning of X3 so I just said 2005

X3 is the easiest to place year wise as the 25yrs of Mutant progress advert gives us a concrete 2006 date but nothing else. I used Jean's neighbourhood and the forest where magneto was hiding his army as somewhere around Spring-Summer.

Also, global warming.
So snowy weather in Alberta was probably more present through out the year in the early 2000s.

Weird continuity error but not really (if you know Sabretooth): weird how they imply he dies in the X2 Wolverine prequel comic due to "his body rejecting the Adamantium" Stryker's goons forced in him after capture. Since he shows up in the X-Men Official Game, we can assume his healing factor made him comatose during the process and sometime after they dumped his body he woke up.

That's the way I saw it.

@selfishmisery you should probably update the link to the MCU timeline thread on the OP to the new one.

I don't know yet because I haven't heard of or seen that guy in a while.
I hope they're okay.

Hi, I rewatched X-Men: Origins Wolverine the other day, and I had 2 questions:

1) How did Stryker's team find Scott/Cyclops? They don't have a Cerebro or anything like that, we see that he already has his mutant powers awakened, because he is wearing glasses, which he definitely got through his brother Alex, who asked Hank/Beast to make, in Original Timeline, Alex didn't take Scott to school, like he did in Revised Timeline, in Apocalypse.

2) How did Stryker get away with being arrested in the post-credits scene, for having been accused of killing the general he killed in the movie, did he accused Wade Sr. for this and Three Mile Island incident?, because as we saw in X2, he is working in a government department, he is fine.

What headcanons/theories do you have?

I also noticed that the Alkali Lake base appears destroyed on the outside when Logan visits at the beginning of X2, in Origins, appears normal, including showing the people arriving to see the Adamantium experiment, what would have caused this?

 

[Regsta]

I have a headcanon, different from Origins topic, that Moira McTaggart later, between First Class and The Last Stand, discover that she is a mutant, that her mutation is age slowly, that's why she appears to look like 30 in The Last Stand, since she is around 70 that time, also she between First Class and The Last Stand, left CIA and became a medical scientist and doctor.

Since is a industrial complex, prior Stryker take the place to himself to use to his experiments, could have a happened a incident, that's why the complex become abandoned.

Maybe. I prefer that she's just a young looking 60/70-something

Actually, I just pretend that she looks like old, I ignore that she looks like 30.

Moira's comic mutant ability is the ability to reincarnate. It's possible that she did unlock her mutant potential after being killed in duty, therefore reincarnating into the woman we see in The Last Stand.

You guys have theories/answers about this?

 

[Regsta]

And you guys have theories about where the Sentinels during the original trilogy?

The Sentinels heavily appeared in the tie-in video game released alongside The Last Stand, as well as the video game adaptation of Origins: Wolverine. They were always about but never given any proper focus until Days Of Future Past.

I have the headcanon that they were descontinued and kept deactived, after Bolivar Trask's death, without government support. Trask Industries kept Mystique's DNA safe after torturing and experimenting on her. After The Last Stand, things started to get complicated and then the idea of using Sentinels came up again, so they started working again with Mystique's DNA that Trask Industries already have, after they have her in their custody, and later with Rogue's DNA too.

A sentinel-like robot appears in danger room simulation in X3, Because both Hank and Charles knew about Sentinels in 70s, so he create a simulation with him to danger room to training X-Men.

I know about the games, but I think the movies ignore the events of the games.

Also, Raven, after her time in Trask Industries' custody, didn't warn about the use of her powers in Sentinels in Original Trilogy, because she wasn't aware to the science behind the experiments on her, she didn't know that her mutation was going to be used to Sentinels.

1- I think Stryker learned about a mutant in Ohio, that have optic blast in eyes, then he send his crew to investigate, which they find the mutant's identity, which is Scott Summers, so Stryker send Victor to capture him.

2- He used Wade's blade to kill the general, Stryker will blame Wade Wilson Sr and get away with it, and he will invent a story involving ''Barakapool'' about Three Mile Island Incident, which he is a mutant that went crazy and destroyed the place. We know he got away with it, as seen in X2.
