Legacyquel

A film or series "in which beloved aging stars reprise classic roles and pass the torch to younger successors." Matt Singer coined this word in an article about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, also mentioning Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a legacyquel to the original films.
