*''X2: X-Men United'' and ''X-Men: The Last Stand'' were filmed mostly in Vancouver, Canada.<ref name="X-Facts"/>
*''X-Men: The Last Stand'' and ''Logan'' are the only films to have a Marvel fanfare that solely features pages from ''X-Men'' comics.
*A recurring motif in the opening credits of the main ''X-Men'' films is the "X" in the 20th Century Fox logo lingering for a few seconds before fading away with the rest of the logo. ''X-Men: First Class'' is the only film of the main franchise not to feature this. ''X-Men: Dark Phoenix'' has a variation of the motif, with the "X" glowing a fiery orange.
