Fast and Furious 8 could star Paul
Walker’s younger brother, Cody
Walker, according to reports.
After the tragic death of one of the
franchise’s biggest stars the studio
went into a spiral as Fast and
Furious 7 was far from complete.
With reports of lookalikes and CGI to
replace Walker’s character Brian
O’Conner, it wasn’t until news of
Walker’s brother’s Cody and Caleb -
who look very similar to the late star
- that fans were certain the film
would still be released.
The latest report is that Paul’s
younger brother Cody will step in
and continue with the franchise, for
at least the next instalment.
According to MoviePilot.com, media
analyst Paul Dergarabedian says if
Cody “does a great job and is well
received by audiences in this newly
conceived role, then who better to
carry on the Walker tradition than
his brother …when its a family
member who fills in, it seems to
soften any criticism that could
develop.”
Fast and Furious 7 star Ludacris, who
plays Tej Parker in the series,
confirmed that the late star’s
bothers Caleb and Cody will be
filling in.
