The future has gone as badly as possible, so someone is sent back far enough to stop it starting.

A separate universe from the main line. Deadpool & Wolverine made that connection explicit rather than tidy, so this order is a reading of it, not a ruling.

Where It Sits

In-Universe Order — number 101 of 158 on the timeline. After X-Men: First Class. Then X-Men: Apocalypse.
Release Order — number 41 of 158 on the timeline. After The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Then Guardians of the Galaxy.
