After the death of Paul Walker, it has been mostly assumed that the character will be killed off, in Fast and Furious 7, but that might not actually be the case.

While Walker's character, Brian O'Connor, will surely exit from the series, it has also been reported that he might just leave the team and move onto other things, as opposed to a tragic death.

A report had suggested that the actor's character in the race car thriller will get a happy ending in the movie. After Walker's sudden death late last year, there had been a lot of speculation surrounding his character arc and how it would play out. The actor's younger brothers Caleb and Cody, stepped in to help finishing his bits in the movie.

If Brian will indeed receive a smooth exit and not one in a car crash as was being suspected, it seems like Caleb, the older of the two brothers will be playing Walker's part. Reports had revealed that Cody has signed on to star in the next in the franchise. Perhaps, Caleb will help conclude Brian's arc in the movie, and this might now necessarily mean that the character dies.

Walker died on Nov. 30 in a car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif. He was the passenger in a car being driven by his friend, race car driver Roger Rodas, who also died in the accident. The speeding car hit a tree and instantly burst into flames, causing both the actor and Rodas to die on the spot.

Fast and Furious 7 will take off from where Fast and Furious 6 left off. 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, Luke Evans, Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez. UFC Womens Bantam weight champion Ronda Rousey and ONG Bak star Tony Jaa will also star in the film.

The 40-year-old actor was halfway through filming Fast and Furious 7.
