Long before the MCU blew up, some of Marvel's finest characters were still making their presence felt on the big screen in Fox's X-Men saga. Fronted by Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Ian McKellen's Magneto and Patrick Stewart's Professor X, the X-Men film series has been going strong for almost two decades and, although not all of its offerings are classics, its passionate fans have kept it alive.

Ironically, the franchise's most successful outings have been its R-rated spin-offs, with both Deadpool movies managing to outperform many MCU heavyweights (including the first two Iron Man and Captain America movies), so the fact that Captain Marvel soared past them with such ease, and essentially left the entire franchise in the dust, is something to be, well, marvelled at.
