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!

They made a hologram of Tupac so…
I honestly think it’s disrespectful to use Paul Walker again. I am beginning to hate the F&F franchise with all this bullshit that’s going on. If I’m honest it should have ended after 6. They are flogging a dead horse now
Fast and the furious 5 “one last job”

Just let the guy rest in peace
No, just no, let him rest already
You’re Joking! those silly producers are making the movie overrated, stupid and no-sense, HE IS DEAD! LET HIM R.I.P FOR GOD SAKE!
So the Justin Gayber rumor is fake?
Maybe his brother act oconnor’s brother ön the late movies.
they want to bring his real brother Cody in the franchise by adding him as Brian’s brother. That way, they have Paul on set in spirit. They might get body doubles for him in scenes where Vin could be talking to Mia over the phone, cause lets face it, they are not gonna cut-out Mia’s role in the franchise.
