With its $374.8 million global box office haul in 2009, X-Men Origins: Wolverine marked a remarkable beginning for the franchise. Building on this triumph, The Wolverine had a $416.5 million global debut in 2013, reflecting that the franchise was becoming more popular.

The series peaked with Logan in 2017. Not only did this series finale earn great reviews from critics, but it also did incredibly well at the box office. Logan's victory served as a symbol of the franchise's zenith, showing how the character developed from modest beginnings to popularity in box office hits.

It took home $614.2 million and won praise from reviewers for its distinct interpretation of the character. The entire series' films have made about $351.5 million in box office receipts worldwide, with an average production cost of about $130.7 million.


How does Deadpool 3 fit into the timeline?

After Logan's sad departure, many fans assumed Hugh's character had retired his claws forever. However, Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 has changed that. This film is a major release for Marvel Studios in 2024.

It is set in the Multiverse Saga, which follows the Infinity Saga and explores alternate universes and new versions of familiar characters. Instead of continuing where Logan left off, where he sacrificed himself.

The version of Wolverine in Deadpool 3 is from another universe. This allows for new storytelling while honoring the previous portrayal of the character.


After making its premiere in 2000, the X-Men franchise quickly gained popularity thanks to its intriguing fusion of superhero drama and action. With thirteen movies, the series is still very popular.

The latest installment, which sticks to the popular Deadpool formula, seamlessly mixes humor and intense action.
