They should have re cast him, that guy from Banshee would have been good. Then they could have made 7 a lot better then being tied up trying to piece it together just to have Walker's scenes in it.
I would be ok with that surprisingly. Not having Brian in the movie will be odd. They are family yet We'll never again see Brian come to help Dom out of one of his crazy situations. It doesn't jive with what has been built up. I don't believe for 1 second Brian would give it up while everyone else goes on and we never see Brian again.

5 was just so damn good that i was massively let down by 6. Only saving grace for 7 imo was it being Pauls last movie and seeing the "end" of his arc.
Perhaps some of you may not have known, but Paul Walker and Vin Diesel wanted/believed this franchise can go to ten movies. After the passing of Walker, Vin Diesel made it a promise to Paul to make that wish come true and continue to franchise as originally intended.
Justin Lin (Star Trek: Beyond) helped to reinvigorate the Fast & Furious brand in a big way. Lin, who has directed four sequels in the franchise, took the series to the next level with Fast Five, the most enjoyable sequel in the series up until that point. The Fast & Furious movies became more popular, more successful, and more enjoyable, in large part thanks to Lin, who established a new tone and broadened the franchise’s scope. He opted out of directing Furious 7, but the Better Luck Tomorrow director might return to, as Vin Diesel says, “finish what you started.”
Director F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) is currently shooting Furious 8 in Cleveland, Ohio. That sequel, which is prominently set in New York, will kick off the final “trilogy” in the series. Lin was reportedly offered the film but turned the deal down to instead direct this summer’s Star Trek: Beyond. Is he interested in returning to the franchise, though? According to Lin’s quote in Wired, he hasn’t ruled out one last ride.
For starters, Diesel expressed his desire to bring Lin back to Wired:
Quote:
I’m going to bring him back. Whenever we had a day off—even on Thanksgiving, his favorite holiday—it was Justin and me working on how far we could take it. Success comes from 10 years of that mentality.
When Lin was asked about Diesel planning to “bring him back,” Lin responded:
Quote:
Vin says you finish what you started, and he’s very persuasive.
About a year and a half ago, it was reported that Universal was keen on Lin making the last of the sequels. At the time, he was still a potential option for Furious 8, but the hope was that the director would return to direct the final installments, which are scheduled for April 19th, 2019 and April 2nd, 2021. Universal had hoped he’d make them back-to-back.
Does Lin have time for the final two Fast & Furious films? He’s currently working on the LeBron James-led Space Jam sequel, but if Universal and Diesel are now only interested in Lin directing the 10th and final installment, then that sounds more plausible. It’d certainly be fitting to bring the director back, considering everything he has accomplished with this franchise. Without Lin, this series may not have ever acquired this staggering level of success and popularity.
Fast and Furious 8 opens in theaters April 14th, 2017.
It would make more sense for Rob Cohen to direct the finale movie, seeing as he's the guy who started the franchise. Bit of a slap in the face to him that Diesel wants Lin back but not Cohen. Cohen pretty much gave Diesel his career. He also arguably made the best Fast and Furious movie.
vin diesel suggests fast and furious 10 could be split into 2 parts
fast and furious 9 has yet to reach cinemas, but already we are turning our gaze towards the tenth instalment in the series. F9, after all, will be the second part in the "last trilogy to end the saga". And if that's not already confusing enough, vin diesel has suggested that fast and furious 10 could be split into two parts.
“i started planning for fast 10 before we started filming fast 9. Very much so,” diesel tells our sister publication total film in the latest issue. “the universe is so robust and so rich with talent and rich with story that, on one level, it’s totally feasible to have spinoffs, and i think that’s something that is inevitable. Universal deserves it because of how much they’ve invested in this little saga, and it’d be good to give back to universal. And for the fans, should fast 10 parts one and two be the conclusion, it would be nice for this world to continue for generations to come.” source
