A spin-off is a story that did not take center stage in the original work (book, comic, film, etc.).
Spin-off films rarely go unnoticed. We either love them or hate them. Some films are intended to bring the franchise to life, others are intended to expand our knowledge of a particular fictional universe. One of the most anticipated spin-offs of 2016 is Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This movie has already been released.
