ActioNewz.com<\/a>) just how different the 2015 movie\u2014which grossed over $1.5 billion at the worldwide box office\u2014was once set to be.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Originally, [Furious 7] ended with the whole crew back at Neptune\u2019s Net, the Malibu seafood joint off Pacific Coast Highway where Brian and Dom had bonded in the first movie, celebrating the successful retrieval of the \u201cGod\u2019s Eye\u201d MacGuffin that Jason Statham\u2019s villain, Deckard Shaw, was pursuing.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
“But instead of giving the device back to the mysterious government agent Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell), who had just awarded the team congressional commendations, Dom crushes the God\u2019s Eye under his boot, saying that it was too powerful for any one person to possess. The team then roars off onto the PCH, with the smiling Dom crumpling the commendation into a ball and tossing it out the window as the score swells and the end credits roll.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hertz later added that part of the ending featured “the team [picking] their next destination by throwing a knife at a nearby map, letting ‘fate’ decide.”<\/p>\n
Unlike this version, the\u00a0eventual theatrical cut of Furious 7 wrapped up with The God’s Eye still in the wind. That obviously came back to haunt Dom and company in\u00a0The Fate of the Furious and Fast X, something that wouldn’t have been possible had it been destroyed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Plans to make Dom and his crew into more legitimate heroes were also dropped, retaining their outlaw status. It’s unclear whether Walker’s death was the only reason for these alterations, as the story may have still evolved even without Brian’s story concluding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Work continues on the eleventh and final Fast & Furious movie, though it does appear to have hit something of a roadblock. Whether it will reference or feature Brian in any way is TBD, but we’d bet on Walker’s character having a presence of some sort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
