Quite a few sequels have to retcon the characters progression from the first movie to have a story to tell. What are examples of sequels who managed to avoid that? (piefed.zip)

I argue that most sequels don’t retcon

Fr. I think I could make a shorter list of sequels that fit OP's description of retconning character progression than of movies that don't do that. And of all the ones that do, half of them are Spider-Man movies or not sequels, but reboots and re-makes.
