VARIETY writer Thomas J. McLean offers the definitive study of the original X-Men movie trilogy. Using both the source material and interviews conducted solely for this book, he traces each film's development process, adaptation of the X-Men comics mythos, and reception. He also examines previous attempts to adapt the X-Men for the screen, omitted scenes, the films' novelizations and prequel comics, and the trilogy's lasting legacy.
