X2 - X-Men United (2003) +

The film begins with a devastating attack on the President of the United States in the Oval Office by the teleporting mutant (and former star acrobat and aerial artist of the small Bavarian Der Jarhkmarkt Circus) known as Nightcrawler.  News of the assault immediately renews interest in the Mutant Registration Act proposed by Senator Kelly in the last film.  This time William Stryker, a covert black-ops military leader, is leading the call for registration of (and ultimately genocide for) the mutant community.  He proposes and is granted approval to execute an attack on Xavier's School for the Gifted where he believes he can find answers as well as put an end to the the mutant problem once and for all.  With Magneto locked in his plastic prison, the X-Men must find out who is behind the attack on the President and what is the ultimate goal of their new enemy.
