X-Men Cinematic Universe - Timeline (Revised & Original)

That line can be more or less disregarded. Logan was intended to be a standalone film based on the Xmen films so anything they did for world building is relatively redundant. Deadpool and Wolverine retroactively added it to the same continuity (more or less, branches or whatever), so we shouldn't necessarily take it at face value, especially considering DP&W prevents Logan from happening. I don't like Logan being part of the same universe because it ruins the great ending of DoFP. Yes, Logan gets a somewhat happy ending but it ruins the true happy ending that the former film gave us.

This same thing happened with Superman Returns. It was made as an homage to the original Reeve series but became retroactively added to the same continuity. It causes slight problems but they can be generally overlooked because that was not the intention of that piece of work to begin with.

James Mangold (the director) has made explicit suggestions that it is set after X-Men: Days of Future Past. Also, we don't know if Deadpool & Wolverine prevented Logan from happening yet.

Yeah, that I do somewhat agree with.
