The Fast and Furious franchise has been one of the most popular and enduring action movie series in recent memory, and it all began with the iconic pairing of Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner. The first flick seems quaint compared to where the franchise is now, but it all started with the release of the 2001’s street racing movie, which had a pretty obvious take on the Point Break formula, albeit trading in surfboards for high-performance street racing cars. What followed was a series of movies, each bigger than the last, and a franchise that has become a box-office juggernaut. Sadly, the series lost one of its pioneers when Paul Walker passed away tragically in a car accident in 2013 before the filming of Furious 7 was completed, leaving the series and its fans with a massive hole in their hearts. Through computer magic and the help of Walker’s brothers, the filmmakers completed the movie, and audiences were treated to one of the most beautifully meta movie moments, Brian driving off into the sunset, happily ever after. However, according to one cast member, we probably haven’t seen the last of Brian. That’s right, Vin Diesel teased the franchise saying goodbye to Paul walker and Brian one last time.
In a recent interview with Total Film, Vin Diesel, who also serves as a producer on the franchise, teased the upcoming addition to the main story series of movies, Fast X, and hinted at the franchise’s bigger plans for saying goodbye to the character of Brian O’Conner.
