Cody Walker Says AI Could Bring Brian O'Connor Back for the Final Fast & Furious

Paul Walker’s brother Cody just gave the internet a lot to argue about. In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Cody said Brian O’Connor could return for the franchise’s eleventh and final film, potentially through AI and unused footage from the earlier Fast movies. But he was clear about one thing: he won’t be the one bringing him back. Cody, who along with brother Caleb stood in for Paul in Furious 7, says the decision belongs to Paul’s daughter, Meadow, because it’s her father.

The timing lines up with what Vin Diesel said in June 2025. The finale is targeting April 2027, and Vin listed three conditions, one of them being a Dom and Brian reunion. That’s right, the franchise has been teasing this for over a year. And Vin’s bond with Meadow since Paul’s death makes this feel less like a corporate decision and more like a family conversation.

So what do you think? Furious 7 wrote Brian out with a quiet retirement alongside Mia and the kids, a goodbye that still gets people emotional. Bringing him back with AI raises real questions about consent, legacy, and whether you can recreate someone who’s gone. Does a Brian comeback honor Paul Walker, or does it risk the perfect ending he already got? Drop your take below, we’re reading every single one.
