Despite the fact that it's been a year-and-a-half since the tragic death of Paul Walker, whose autopsy later reveled was still alive immediately following the crash, in a horrific car traffic accident, his Fast and Furious character Brian O'Connell is reportedly all set to ride again in the new 2017 Fast 8 sequel. According to the latest gossip news updates, Walker's brother, Cody, is very interested in reprising hisFurious 7 role as a CGI body double in next installment that Vin Diesel insists Paul already promised he'd make for the fans.
"Paul use to say that Fast & Furious 8 was guaranteed. In some ways when your brother guarantees something, you have to make sure it comes to pass.
"So if fate has it, fate, F8, then you'll get it.
"Furious 7 was for Paul; 8 is from Paul."
With all that having been said, it may be difficult to have Paul in the eighth film without that participation of his brother, Cody, who helped Universal and James Wan finish making the last movie along with the best CGI money can buy.
