Good to know

When does X-Men: First Class take place in the MCU?

The movie takes place in 1962

How is X-Men: First Class connected to the MCU?

The movie takes place in a parallel universe, and some of its characters will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine as well as Avengers: Doomsday

Why watch X-Men: First Class at this point in the timeline?

Because watching these movies at their actual in-universe point would make no sense (scattered between totally unrelated movies with gaps of several decades), and I think the events of Loki matter — as does having everything fresh in your head before Deadpool & Wolverine and Avengers: Doomsday

What about the post-credits scene(s)?

None
