Kurt Russell discussed character details and the extent of his role in Fast and Furious 7 in a recent interview with IGN.

After Walker's death, the film's production was in a state of flux and a lot of delays were involved. While work on the project has resumed, Russell was still not quite sure about when he will get back on set.

"I've been told April, maybe May, maybe Dubai, maybe Atlanta, maybe LA," he said.

Russell's character was reportedly meant to play a father-figure to Paul Walker in the film, but as it has also been suggested that Russell's role will stretch into the next installment of the series as well, IGN asked him if Walker's death would change things.

The 62-year actor then clarified that he was not exactly playing father-figure to Walker's character, Brian O'Connor. "He's really more connected to Vin's character," he said.

Russell's part has been rumored to be that of a cop but the actor suggested that there is no boxing the character, and that he is "presented as one thing, but you have a big suspicion that he's another."

He also went on to say that Diesel's character's family will be very suspicious of him. "It was always going to be Vin's character who he was a father figure to -- but he's either a good one or a bad one," he added.

The news of Russell coming on board was confirmed in September last year.

Russell had been in talks for the role which Denzel Washington was originally being considered for. The news of Russell's coming on board was also confirmed by Vin Diesel's posting a picture from the sets which featured him, Paul Walker, and Russell, on his Facebook account.

He captioned the picture by expressing his admiration for Russell: "Kurt Russell, such an honor to work with..."
