His brothers Cody and Caleb helped complete the movie at the time by standing in for him in his role as Brian O&#8217;Conner.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">The pair, and actor John Brotherton, stepped in as body doubles for Paul, alongside the use of special visual effects. The team was able to give Brian an emotional on-screen farewell, as he drove off into the sunset with his young family.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Since then, the beloved character has been referenced throughout the subsequent movies, though he hasn&#8217;t appeared again.

He said that the decision will be down to Paul&#8217;s daughter Meadow, but that he&#8217;s happy with Brian&#8217;s exit storyline.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"26\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;My stance is, it&#8217;s what Meadow wants to see done; it&#8217;s her father,&#8221; Cody told <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/paul-walker-brother-wont-be-involved-final-fast-furious-film-12077272\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/paul-walker-brother-wont-be-involved-final-fast-furious-film-12077272\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Entertainment Weekly\" data-node-id=\"26.1.0\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>. &#8220;I would not be interested in doing that again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"31\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;I love the way his character exited the franchise. They didn&#8217;t kill him off, they didn&#8217;t do something cheesy like that. It&#8217;s beautiful, [Brian] is off raising his kids. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"35\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">He continued: &#8220;But if they want to do that, if Meadow would like to see that, they don&#8217;t need me or Caleb. AI was not a thing back in 2014, so they could do that. There&#8217;s years of footage that was never used from these other Fast films. They&#8217;re the best in the business, they can figure that out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"paul and cody walker\" title=\"Paul and Cody Walker\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2635\" height=\"3000\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1cd80d3d-5709-4b20-8526-4a292ffae263.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Getty Images<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"40\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/movies\/a73505176\/fast-furious-11-four-writers-worthy-finale\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.digitalspy.com\/movies\/a73505176\/fast-furious-11-four-writers-worthy-finale\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Fast &amp; Furious 11 went through &quot;four sets of writers&quot; to get a &quot;worthy&quot; finale\" data-node-id=\"40.1\" class=\"body-link css-1gyyefe emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fast &amp; Furious 11 went through &#8220;four sets of writers&#8221; to get a &#8220;worthy&#8221; finale<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"44\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">Should Diesel&#8217;s plan to reunite his character Dominic Toretto with Brian go ahead, Cody admitted to having &#8220;no idea what to expect&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"48\" class=\"css-1ncddsh emevuu60\">&#8220;I talked to Vin, and when it comes to this whole process, he gets very ethereal; it&#8217;s a lot of weight.
