Within the relative early days of the Quick franchise, Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto was headlining the sequence with the late Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner. When Walker died in 2013, the franchise opted to retire the character with Livid 7 two years later. Later installments have made it clear he’s fairly alive—F9 even ends along with his automotive coming to the Torettos’ driveway—and Dom’s son (as revealed in F8 of the Livid) is even named after the character.

Brian’s absence has resulted in Dom’s sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) changing into a extra outstanding a part of the solid with F9: The Quick Saga, however the query of what the franchise would do with him looms over the following two movies. Quick X’s trailer confirmed that he’ll seem by way of flashbacks utilizing previous footage from Quick 5, however it might go additional than that. Chatting with Complete Movie earlier within the week, Diesel indicated that Brian might present up within the current day by some means earlier than the sequence wraps issues up with Quick 11. Calling the unique Livid 7 ending a “righteous and daring selection” to maintain Brian alive, he mentioned that he “couldn’t think about this saga ending with out really saying goodbye to Brian O’Conner.”

When Walker died mid-production on Livid 7, a number of of his scenes have been already shot. To finish his remaining moments, Common used CG to recreate the actor’s options, and had his brothers Cody and Caleb used to report a baseline efficiency. It might be that Common will recast the character with a brand new actor, or simply use the CG technique once more to deliver the character again for a brief look. Studios have used the latter choice loads of instances in recent times, and up to date months have made it clear that AI and CG expertise can be utilized to recreate (or wholly make) performances to various levels of success.

We’ll discover out for positive when Quick X involves theaters on Could 19, and Quick 11 at a later date.
