He also teased Paul’s return and said, “The studio said to me, Vin, can we please have the finale of Fast and Furious [in] April 2027? I said, under three conditions. First, is to bring the franchise back to LA! The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing! The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O’Conner.”For the unversed, Paul played a cop turned street racer called Brian O'Conner in the film franchise. The actor died in a car crash at age 40 in 2013, so it is unclear whether AI will be used to digitally insert him into the film or if Vin is talking about old footage.Internet reactsFans of the franchise had mixed feelings about Paul’s return to the final Fast and Furious film. “Bruh whyyy, he had such a great send off. Let him rest in peace,” wrote one Instagram user, while another said, “The final Fast and Furious movie was Fast and Furious 7 when the white car drove away while Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa were singing See You Again.”Some wondered if the famous song See You Again would be featured again, losing its impact, “See you again part 2?” and another joked, “Fast and furious: the conjuring.” A frustrated fan wrote, “Enough is enough. There's a fine line between grief and missing someone and being obsessed and exploitative. This goes for Paul, Aliyah, Selena, Tupac, Biggie, and a host of others. Let em REST!”Some fans, however, seemed happy about the news, wanting to see Paul one last time, “Great call he was a huge part of the franchise he absolutely needs to be included in the final movie in someway shape or form. It wouldn’t be right if he wasn’t.”About Fast and FuriousKicking off the franchise was The Fast and the Furious, which was released in theatres in 2001.
