A [[Spinoff (media)|spin-off]] is a work that is not a sequel to any previous works, but is set in the same universe. It is a separate work-on-its-own in the same franchise as the series of other works. Spin-offs are often focused on one or more of the minor characters from the other work or new characters in the same universe as the other work. ''[[The Scorpion King]]'', ''[[Planes (film)|Planes]]'', ''[[Minions (film)|Minions]]'', ''[[Hobbs & Shaw]]'' and ''[[Lightyear (film)|Lightyear]]'' are examples of spin-off movies while ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', ''[[Torchwood]]'' and ''[[CSI: NY]]'' are examples of spin-off television series.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Levine |first=Adam |date=2022-07-28 |title=Every Kind Of Sequel Explained |url=https://www.looper.com/945058/every-kind-of-sequel-explained/ |access-date=2024-11-15 |website=Looper |language=en-US}}</ref>

A [[crossover (fiction)|crossover]] is a work where characters or events from two previous works from different franchises are meeting in the same universe. ''[[Alien vs. Predator (film)|Alien vs. Predator]]'' (2004), ''[[Freddy vs. Jason]]'' (2003), and ''[[The Lego Movie]]'' (2014) are examples of a crossover film. Crossovers can also function as sequels if plotlines from the two previous works continue into them, like with ''[[Deadpool & Wolverine]]'' (2024), and ''[[Rugrats Go Wild]]'' (2003).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-11-10 |title=The 17 greatest crossover and team-up films |url=https://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/the_most_memorable_crossover_and_team_up_movies/s1__40549154#slide_16 |access-date=2024-11-15 |website=Yardbarker |language=en}}</ref>''

A [[reboot (fiction)|reboot]] is a start over from a previous work. It could either be a film set in a new universe resembling the old one or it could be a regular spin-off film that starts a new film series. Reboots are usually a part of the same media franchise as the previous works, but not always. ''[[Batman Begins]]'' (2005), ''[[Casino Royale (2006 film)|Casino Royale]]'' (2006), ''[[Star Trek (2009 film)|Star Trek]]'' (2009), ''[[Børning]]'' (2014), ''[[Man of Steel (film)|Man of Steel]]'' (2013), and ''[[Terminator: Genisys]]'' (2015) are examples of reboot films. Kathleen Loock has written that traditional reboots tended to stray away from depicting direct narrative or stylistic correlations to the previous versions of the franchise. Contemporary reboots lean into the nostalgia factor and create new stories that simultaneously revel in the aspects of the original franchise that made it notable in the first place.<ref name="Loock 173–188">{{Citation |last=Loock |first=Kathleen |title=Reboot, Requel, Legacyquel: Jurassic World and the Nostalgia Franchise |date=2020-09-15 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474451369.003.0012 |work=Film Reboots |pages=173–188 |access-date=2023-03-11 |publisher=Edinburgh University Press|doi=10.3366/edinburgh/9781474451369.003.0012 |isbn=9781474451369 |s2cid=236796220 |url-access=subscription }}</ref>
