Paul Walker Could Return To The Fast And Furious Franchise
After a fitting tribute to the late Paul Walker at the end of Fast and Furious 7, it seems that we haven’t seen the last of the JDM-loving character after all. Talks between Vin Diesel and Walker’s brothers began earlier this year to try and reintroduce the Brian O’Connor character to the film series in a respectful manner that will serve as a further tribute to the popular actor.
The filming procedure will probably involve similar methods seen in the last film, with CGI and body doubles to step in for the deceased Walker. Both of his brothers - Cody and Caleb - will probably be used again to take Paul’s place, with the depth of the role yet to be confirmed. Speaking to ET, Caleb Walker said: “I had a phone call with Vin [Diesel] for about an hour and we really discussed this a while back. He wanted [our] blessing.”
With Fast and Furious 8 due to be released in cinemas in April 2017, it can be assumed that the ninth film in the franchise may feature the ex-cop character yet again.
How do you feel about this artificial return of Walker to the silver screen? Was Furious 7 the perfect goodbye to his character, or should he live on in the plots of future films? Comment below with your thoughts!

Are you f#cking kidding me? Please stop kill good characters and make b#llshit.
Pardon the pun but there flogging a dead horse. Just let the film’s go vin.
Just waiting for police academy to announce their next 27 films now…
UNIVERSAL PLEASE STOP!!! The franchise stopped being good after the fourth one… Stop squeezing it even more, we don’t care about that family BS we just want to see cars!!!
i’ve never even realy liked the franchise, just the first like 3 movies
I can understand why they’re wanting to do that, but they reeeeaaaaallly should just let him go gracefully. They should let the character end with FnF7.
Let him rest it was nice knowing Paul but he had an honorable goodbye in FF7 so I’m stunned that they are trying to get him in FF8…. hmmm
so wtf…. they like said goodbye to him and even with the song, and now they want to BRING HIM BACK? this fast furious franchise is getting out of hand.. its sad.
LEAVE THE MAN BE!!! They paid an amazing tribute to him already, any more feels forced so please just let the man rest in peace.
Knowing what the F&F franchise has become, I can see what the plot will be already.
He’s going to come back as a ghost, but can’t communicate to anyone because no one can see him. So he is going to possess his car. And I’m going to stop right there because I can’t even bring myself to match how stupid F&F has been. It really should have stopped after Tokyo Drift
