Ranking Fox’s X-Men Franchise from Worst to Best
Harrison Abbott ranks Fox’s X-Men franchise from worst to best… With X-Men: Dark Phoenix bringing the curtain down on the franchise, now feels like an appropriate time to look back on everything that Fox’s X-Men series gave us over the past two decades.

Exclusive: Simon Kinberg on whether Wolverine was considered for X-Men: Dark Phoenix appearance
