A new report suggests that Paul Walker's character Brian O'Connor might be brought back with the help of CGI for a few scenes in Fast and Furious 8.

Actors Who Might Be In The Running To Join Fast and Furious 8  

CarBuzz sourced an Australian Network News report which speculated Connor's return. This has been linked up to Jordana Brewster's return as Mia Toretto in the films. Recent interviews with Brewster have hinted at her wish to return, even though she is unclear about the fate of her character which seemed to have been written off with O'Connor's exit.

This suggestion seems a bit too farfetched but the possibility of Brewster returning can be legitimately engaged.

Fast and Furious 8 To Be Inspired By Paul Walker's Vision For Series?  

O'Connor's decision to leave the dangerous world of fast cars so as to be able to raise his family with Mia, who was expecting their second child, was shown toward the end of Furious 7. This was a way to give Walker a happy send-off, but Mia was also written into it. It does seem unlikely that she would return in a pivotal role, except for a chance appearance here and there. But Brewster is not writing off her return just yet, as she hinted to the possibility of her coming back in an interview with Huffington Post Live.

"I don't know [if I'd do another film], but it's always dependent on the fans," she said. "If they want one and if there's an appetite for it. We never want to jump the shark!"

So it seems like if fans make enough noise the writers might go the extra mile to figure a way to write Mia's character back into the movie. Also, it would be very weird for Dominic (Diesel) to simply not see his sister after, so we reckon even though Mia might not be part of the crew she'll likely pop by in Fast and Furious 8.

Fast and Furious 8 will be released on April 15, 2017.

Furious 7 hit theaters on April 3, 2015.
