Fans of the “The Fast and the Furious” franchise were concerned by Vin Diesel’s comment suggesting that Paul Walker could reappear in the franchise. The actor died in a car accident in November 2013.
Paul Walker was immortalized as Brian O’Conner, a key character in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise.
He made posthumous appearances in “Furious 7,” released in 2015, with his brothers Cody and Cale Walker serving as stunt doubles for unfinished scenes. Brian O’Conner also appears in “Fast X.”
At the Fuel Fest event, Vin Diesel spoke about the film “Fast X: Part 2,” the working title of the movie scheduled to premiere in April 2027.
He gave three conditions for making the sequel, one of which was to reunite Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner, which did not please many Paul Walker fans.

“What happened to letting people rest in peace!?” wrote one user on X, formerly Twitter.
“If the ‘The Fast and the Furious’ franchise was smart, they’d cast Cody Walker, Paul Walker’s brother, as Brian instead of using CGI,” suggested another.
“Please let him rest, man, come on. He had a perfect farewell with ‘See You Again’ playing, bringing him back would be a disgrace,” warned another.
