Fast X Brian: Is Paul Walker Returning in Fast and Furious 10?

Brian O’Conner is a Fast and Furious fan-favorite. While actor Paul Walker tragically died in a car accident back in 2013, he has posthumously appeared in the franchise. With the release of Fast X right around the corner, fans are wondering if Walker will be returning in the tenth Fast and Furious installment.

Will Paul Walker return as Brian in Fast X?

Yes, Paul Walker will be returning as Brian in Fast X. The news was confirmed earlier this year by Fast and Furious 10 director Louis Leterrier. Lead actor Vin Diesel has also spoken about how the franchise would never end without a goodbye to the late actor.

Walker’s character Brian has remained a part of the Fast and Furious universe, and the actor’s brothers have filmed as body doubles. Combining that with CGI, Walker’s presence has remained on screen. Walker was last seen in Fast & Furious 7, but Brian has been mentioned throughout the movie series.

Due to the sensitive nature of the subject and the technical difficulty in accurately (and respectfully) portraying the acting of Paul Walker in the movie, viewers should only expect a brief cameo. Those hoping that Brian would be making a return as a key protagonist, teaming up with Dom for the bulk of the movie, are very likely to be disappointed. Keep those expectations in check. Brian might be referenced many times, but his actual appearance is probably going to be short and sweet.

Walker’s 24-year-old daughter Meadow Walker will also be making a cameo appearance in Fast X. Exactly how big of a role she will have to play in the movie – and in the future of the franchise – remains to be seen. Sticking with the family theme, there will also be a focus throughout the film on Dom Toretto and his son, Brian Marcos.
