X2 Continuity Breakdown

X2 (2003) is the second film in the original trilogy of X-Men films. This movie directly continues the story its predecessor started. This includes an escalation in the conflict between the world and mutants and the further development of the main characters’ personal stories.

We’re exploring the continuity details surrounding this film. We’re looking at what to watch before watching X2, what to watch after watching X2, and any other relevant details that may enhance the watching experience.

What to watch before X2

X2 directly continues the storyline from X-Men (Continuity). This involves the overall fight between the X-Men, Magneto, and the mutant-hating community. It also involves the personal stories of many different characters, with an emphasis on Wolverine, Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Rogue. Because of this, we highly suggest watching X-Men before X2.

What to watch after X2

The storyline in X2 directly continues in X-Men: Last Stand (Continuity). Once again, this means that the major story points in this film are built upon in the next one. Because of this, we highly suggest watching Last Stand next.
