Spoilers

How did Xavier get his body back after X3? I read that they were uncannonzing X3 but they had flashbacks to it.

Where does this take place in the continum. No Wolverine doesn't have ademantium but shouldn't the events of wolverine already be taking place? I don't remember that movie exactly but if I do remember correctly, he should be holed up with the love of his life at that point.

So would you give the advice to a person only going to the theatre once: See x-men or captain America?

The best thing to do is just ignore X3 aside from the subtle "frick you" references at the end to X3.

Honestly, the continuity is a complete mess, and there's no point in Singer trying to work around it if it negatively affects the film he is trying to tell. Really the only two films he tried to be faithful to are X2 and First Class. In his mind, the other films are merely a slight inconvenience, and can be referenced, and then tossed out the window when he doesn't care for them. With some of the clusterfrick of films that proceeded this one, can't blame the guy either.

As for where it should fall on the continuity, about 20 years after X3.

There is actually an after-credits scene in X3 where it's implied that Xavier transferred his consciousness to his brain dead twin brother before Phoenix killed him. Apparently his brother was born brain dead because Charles' brain was so powerful he basically took all of his brainpower. So he saved himself by moving himself over to his body before dying. He's a twin so he looks the same.


The "future" professor X in DOFP is professor X in his twin brothers body.
