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!

Yeh
when i heard this…. i shifted in 18th gear :D
No. Don’t bring him back. He’s gone. It will never be the same.
No.
I think that now he’s gone they should just leave his character alone now. They wrapped it up at the end of 7 so they should really just stop milking it now.
Honestly I think they should kill him off in the movies along with how he really died. With a smile on his face. But not putting it in the movie. Like starting out the movie with the funeral after a race he was in that went wrong. Then the funeral after like in a Montage with crazy music at the begining then sad music as soon as everyone sees he’s about to be in an accident then black screen then funeral with no music. Then continue the movie
Bring in Hobbs saying he needs the team because the accident was actually a sabotage and the killer is in ice land or greenland or what ever place they went to in the bts and they all catch the guy after a bunch of crazy drama and action scenes then end movie
Why another one? There are more F&F movies than most British tv series has episodes
Oh god, muscle-fat is starting to chew on Vin’s remaining 5 working neurons
