Cody Walker says AI could bring Paul Walker back for final Fast & Furious film
Cody Walker hinted that artificial intelligence might be used to feature his late brother Paul in the franchise’s concluding movie, though he himself would not participate.
Cody Walker told Entertainment Weekly that the studio could employ artificial intelligence to recreate Paul Walker for the series’ final chapter, but he has no interest in taking part himself. He emphasized that any such move would be driven by Meadow Walker’s wishes, describing her as the one who decides how her father’s legacy is handled. Cody praised the respectful way Brian O’Connor’s story concluded, with the character retiring to family life rather than being killed off.
He suggested that years of unused footage from prior Fast & Furious movies might be leveraged for the AI reconstruction. Producer Vin Diesel has hinted at a Dom-Brian reunion at recent events, yet he left the method of bringing Brian back unspecified. The discussion reflects ongoing fan interest in seeing Paul Walker’s character return as the franchise wraps up.
Why it matters
It shows how AI may be used to revive deceased actors, raising questions about legacy and consent.
