Kurt Russell, who is a new cast addition to the Fast and Furious franchise, spoke about finishing scenes he was initially doing with Paul Walker, with his brothers instead, in a recent interview.

3 Different Wrap Parties Held To Celebrate Completion Of Filming

Russell spoke with the Portland Press Herald stating that they were "trying to work the best magic they can to make Fast & Furious 7 complete."

The 63-year-old actor had returned to finish two scenes he had to do with Walker, which were now to be done with Cody and Caleb.

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..."

Fast and Furious 7 will take off from where Fast and Furious 6 left off. James Wan took over the director's role from Justin Lin, who announced earlier in the year that he will step away from directing the franchise.

The cast for the seventh installment reprising their roles include Diesel, Rodriguez, Luke Evans, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Jordana Brewster. UFC Womens Bantam weight champion Ronda Rousey and ONG Bak star Tony Jaa will also star in the film.

Fast and Furious 7 will hit theaters in April 3, 2015.
