What is the theatrical release year of X2?

X2 had its theatrical release in 2003.

Also known as X2: X-Men United, the film is the second installment in the original X-Men movie series. It follows Professor Xavier’s X-Men as they face Colonel William Stryker, whose anti-mutant campaign threatens the school and the wider mutant community.

The sequel was directed by Bryan Singer, who also directed the first X-Men film. Its cast includes Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, James Marsden, and Anna Paquin. Alan Cumming joined the series as Nightcrawler, a blue-skinned mutant capable of teleportation.

X2 is often distinguished from later prequels such as X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Those films use younger versions of several characters and take place in different periods of the franchise’s changing timeline.
