Since I've already started threads for 2 of the "Big 3" comic book movie/tv universes out there (DC Extended Universe/WB, Marvel Cinematic Universe/Marvel/Disney), I figured it was only fitting that I start a thread for the third one, which is the Fox X-Men (Marvel) Movie/TV Universe. Therefore, I'd encourage this to be the place to post any opinions/rankings/news/reviews... etc. of anything Fox X-Men Movie/tv Universe related.
Short History (skip if you don't care): Long story short, back when Marvel was bankrupt in the late 90s, in order to generate some cash, they sold off movie/tv rights to many of their beloved characters to different movie studios including Fox, Sony, Universal... etc, while keeping back some of the characters rights to themselves. With that said, since then, Fox owns and has kept all the rights to the X-Men characters, Wolverine, Deadpool, Fantastic Four... etc, and made a shared universe between many of them, particularly those revolving around the X-Men (excludes Fantastic 4). Marvel then later went on to use all their characters they still owned to create their own Cinematic Universe call the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Therefore, YES, there are technically TWO different Marvel movie/tv universes that are COMPLETELY separate. Marvel/Disney themselves own and control one of them completely, and really have very little to do with the other (Fox).
Now that you've got a quick history lesson, here is a quick list of all the current movies that are part of the universe and considered canon:
X-Men (2000)
X2: X-Men United (2003)
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
X-Men: First Class (2011)
The Wolverine (2013)
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Deadpool (2016)
Moving on, here are the big upcoming movies that are announced and set to come out within this universe:
X-Men: Apocolypse (May 27, 2016)
Gambit (2017)
Untitled Wolverine Film (TBA)
Untitled Deadpool Sequel (TBA)
Hellfire TV Series (TBA)
Lastly, to kick things off, we are only 3 months away right now from the release of the new X-Men: Apocalypse movie, so here is a link to that full-length trailer:
