As for Xavier being able to walk at the end of XMO:W, that is easily explained by Xavier tricking them with an illusion. It would be similar to the trick he pulled on the Russian guard when they were hiding in the back of that truck in XMFC.



Actually, the early 60's (the Cuban Missile Crisis was in 1962). But I agree with your overall point about Jean's recruitment.

I tend to ignore the X2 cameo, as it was just a throwaway cameo anyway that was never planned to be expanded on. You can rationalize it as some form of image inducer test, or similiar like usage since X3 makes it seem like Beast has been furred for a long time too, but also in politics for a long time. Which would suggest the X2 cameo was his way of public speaking without outting himself as a mutant just yet whereas X3 is a point in time where he needs to be a vocal in the open mutant to help Mutants.

XFC is 40s-60s. I'm saying later movies could be late 60s and early to mid 70s. We already know this second one, if ideas haven't changed yet, is going to lean heavily on JFK's assassination or the MLK assasination(62 or 68), but the third one is completely open on dates as yet(this one potentially being where cyclops and Jean would be added to the school, so preferably before and after the 3 mile island incident in 79 for best usages, so 70s-early 80s would seem to be the needed decades there). Plus who knows how many years the story may cover itself like how XFC covered a couple decades. The other problem is in the ages suggested in the present day X-Men movies. Scott and Jean come across as mid 30s, maybe late 20s. So adding them to the cast too early, would date the later films as too early, when they need to be 2000-2020 somewhere.

If they go forward with the X-Men movies instead of filling in backstory, they should do Sinister and Apocalypse next as a back to back film, potentially alluded to and setup by the prequel movies somewhere. Then they can go into 6 with Onslaught from the strain of Xavier not having a body/possessing apoc's body or some such story device that could work.

Sinister for 4, paving the way for apocalypse but also opening the door for a farewell from Scott and Jean, or a new way to bring them 'back' so to speak(clones or he abducted Scott before Jean atomized him, since it was never shown on screen).

Apocalypse is a story I hope they do in the 'present day' films though. It'd make too much sense with how Jean's level 5 powers could have woke him up, or Xavier's now no bodied form could cause him to wake up, etc. Onslaught is also a story they have setup with Xavier not having a body now, so I'd like to see that explored too.
