鈥淯niversal came to visit, to show the trailer for FF7,鈥� the actor wrote. 鈥淪peechless... yeah, it was that INCREDIBLE!

Walker died on Nov. 30 and according to , his brothers Caleb and Cody Walker have worked on the movie as stand-ins as filming continued. According to writer Matthew Belloni, unnamed sources say Walker鈥檚 character Brian will be 鈥渞etired鈥� in the movie.
鈥淭he trio [鈥楩ast & Furious 7鈥� director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan, and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum of Universal Studios] then devised a plan to tweak the existing script so that Walker would remain a part of the story but could be written out, allowing the franchise to continue without him,鈥� Belloni wrote.
Walker starred in all but the third of the 鈥淔ast and the Furious鈥� films as well as such movies as the 2014 film 鈥淏rick Mansions鈥� and the 2006 movie 鈥淔lags of Our Fathers.鈥�
