Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Conner for Furious 9

[Apoho Creed]

But it's now been claimed Brian could be coming back to the silver screen for the ninth instalment in the film franchise.

Film insider Daniel Richtman teased the news on Twitter: "Just got a new casting grid for something and with it some big news that are sure to be controversial. Not sure how I feel about it myself but we'll see."

He followed up the tweet with: "It's been long enough. They are bringing back Paul Walker's character, Brian to FF9."

Paul Walker died during production for Furious 7 so his final shots were filmed with the help of CGI and his brothers, Cody and Caleb.

It's unconfirmed in what capacity Brian will feature in the film if he does return, but Jordana Brewster - his character's wife - is returning as Mia Toretto.

Fans of the films did not react well to the rumours, with many believing it undermines the point of his final scenes.

One person wrote: "Completely undermining the ending of Fast 7 and Paul himself. Disgraceful."

Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Conner ‘will return for Fast and Furious 9’ six years after he died

PAUL Walker’s character in the Fast and Furious films, Brian O’Conner, will make a return to the franchise six years after his death, according to reports. The character was given a sen…

Love the Fast and Furious franchise to death even Tokyo Drift, but I don't know how to feel about this news. You had Brian's Character off from the group because he had a Wife and a Son so it was too risky for him and he said in Seven this is the last one. How do you have his Character come back and let it make sense unless Mia gets killed or their Son together get kidnapped? I know they'll be able to bring him back to life through his Brothers again, but please let this make sense. I would like to see Han and Giselle come back for 10 if you're willing to do this.

The whole franchise is really so weird when you look at it. A solid racing movie to start, two shitty sequels, then they transition to action with the original cast and have their best movie in the series with the 5th one (thanks Rocky), and start making fucking huge blockbusters

I mean his brothers who came in to finish Fast and Furious 7 they really killed it. I just want this to work out story wise. I would say though they love Paul Walker like we do as fans, and wouldn't want to make the Character Brian look like a fool.

Slowly morphed itself into a nostalgia franchise, where you've known these characters for some people half or their entire lives.

That was my next point. Seemed like this franchise was on death’s door until Rock arrived.

He’s done so many good things but he could’ve let this die

Just redo this scene, but do it earnestly.

Was saying that about Marvel after Ultron.......Guardians saved that universe for me.

They should have just let the movies die with Paul. None of the movies without him are the same. They're just abusing his ghost now tbh. Not even saying that to be funny. Stop using the man's memory for money.
