Cody Walker Paul’s Brother will return “Brian” Character in “Fast and Furious 10”

Walker’s character was not killed off, instead surviving as an off-camera presence that still exists in the world of The Fast and The Furious.

His brother Cody Walker helped stand in for him to finish Furious 7 and appears to be on the set of Fast 10 in one of Diesel’s latest posts.

In spite of Walker’s death, F9 makes it clear Brian O’Conner is alive and well in the Fast & Furious universe, having him stay behind to care for his and Mia’s children, along with Dom’s son Brian. What’s more, Walker’s brothers are open to bringing his character back.

“I think there could potentially be a way to do it,” said Cody Walker, speaking in Aug. 2018. “But it would take a lot of thought and it’d have to be tasteful. It would have to be tasteful. He was the real deal, the real car guy. And in his absence, I — you know — I think [The Fast Saga] lost its way in a big way.”
