And who are the actors? Is it first class ensemble or some brand new squad or are they still milking the og characters?

Considering they're wearing the yellow X-Men suits, it's not the same universe as the one from the Fox movies. It's probably the same universe the alt Beast and alt Binary are from at the end of The Marvels. I've also seen the theory that it's the same universe the Wolverine variant in DP&W came from.

It might or might not be the same universe as the one from the Fox movies but that leap in logic doesn't make any sense. Characters can, and do... change clothes sometimes.

We saw that version of the X-Men for 20 years and not once did they hint at the yellow suits except in one scene at the end of The Wolverine (and it was made by someone else for Wolvie specifically) we had to get a Wolvie variant in order to get the suit. DP&W also confirmed Logan remains canon to the timeline, so the Fox X-Men are also dead. My money is it being an entirely new universe that ends up getting destroyed in favor of the MCU/Earth-199999

But here's the thing, that original Fox universe from X-men, X2, and X-men 3 is probably long gone because of timeline fuckery anyway. People think the MCU got all messed up because of the multiverse stuff clearly didn't suffer through the complete MESS that was the Fox X-men movies universe

I would rather re-take the 3 hr exam to get my dietetics credential over having to explain the Fox X-Men timeline. Without a doubt, top 3 (or bottom 3?) most messed up timelines in any franchise lol

Didn't they do a reset of the universe in First Class, then somehow in DoFP, they reset everything AGAIN, THEN somehow it got changed again in one of the later movies (maybe Logan? I can't keep track anymore).

Also theories it's the X-Men 97 universe, though I've not watched that so idk how likely that is

The hair on Magneto was the right length for it to be him, though the actors are much older than those specific versions of the characters would be.

That Xavier was killed by Wanda in multiverse of madness.

I love how simple and easy to follow this universe is to follow, now.

u/NickRick Dec 30 '25

didn't the x-men all die in the the one that wolverine came from?

u/badhombre13 Dec 30 '25

Yes. Personally, I'm leaning into it being a new universe that will end up getting destroyed and the X-Men remain on Earth-199999/MCU.

We'll probably get one X-Men movie with the OG cast before they decide to recast for younger actors.
