A long-running series of adaptations of Marvel Comics' X-Men franchise, created by Twentieth Century Fox. The series initially ran from 2000 to 2020 before being periodically used as part of a greater multiverse from 2021 onwards, under new management. It, alongside the Blade Trilogy and the Spider-Man Trilogy, is credited for reviving the superhero genre in the early 2000s, a trend which continues to this very day.It holds to the original premise of the discovery of mutants, humans who possess unusual abilities and superpowers through genetic mutations and are feared by the rest of the world. The heroes are the X-Men, a team organized by powerful telepath Charles Xavier who hopes to establish peace between mutants and regular people, with a school dedicated to helping mutants, understanding and harnessing their powers for good. Various factions oppose them, some normal human militants hoping to kill them and, most prominently, Xavier's former friend Erik Lehnsherr a.k.a. Magneto, who leads a counter-team who are trying to establish complete mutant supremacy.Despite its source material being rooted in the Marvel Universe, this franchise was not created by Marvel Entertainment itself, preceding Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe by almost a decade. The franchise came about when Marvel Entertainment sold the film rights to some of its most popular properties during its potential bankruptcy in the 1990s. With Fox holding the X-Men film rights, they had the exclusive rights to use X-Men (and X-Men adjacent) characters in their films, until Fox was bought by Disney.note Except in the case of Quicksilver, who's been used in both franchises because of his long association with The Avengers, in addition to the X-Men; Fox also had permission to use Scarlet Witch, but she was never introduced. Fox also had plans to use the Skrulls by way of their association with the Fantastic Four, whose rights they also held, but ultimately chose not to in favor of using the D'Bari instead — the latter of which is curiously an obscure alien race licensed to Marvel and not Fox, although the conditions of the merger likely gave them some leniency in post-production.In October 2020, the X-Men Film Series, along with the Fantastic Four films, were rebranded as "Marvel Legacy Movies" on Disney+.
