Trailer Release For F&F7 Planned Around Paul Walker's First Death Anniversary? 

Wan is not only a new director in the F&F franchise but Fast and Furious 7 is also his first big budget undertaking. Before this Wan was mostly known for his indie-horror and thriller films like Insidious, the Saw series, and The Conjuring. A Deadline report speculated about Wan continuing with the franchise, as the release date for The Conjuring 2, which he is set to direct, has been pushed to 2016, as Wan has his hands full with Fast and Furious 7.

Deadline reporter Mike Fleming Junior has some inside information but no confirmation on the subject:

"Universal had options on Wan for more Fast & Furious installments and that studio allowed him to go direct The Conjuring 2 as his next film. No final decisions have been made about Wan's involvement in future installments of Universal's street racing film series, I'm told."

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.

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