"Fast and Furious 8" plans into existence has been disclosed by the most important lead himself Vin Diesel on Jimmy Kimmel Live. It has been ascertained that Paul Walker's death will not stop the movie trilogy from happening.

But will Paul Walker's character Brian O'Conner still happen in the eighth installment? The ball is in Cody's court. 

Walker's brother, Cody, filled his unfinished scenes that led him to take acting classes. 

"I'm not sure if they are going to make an eighth movie, but if they did, I'm sure he would entertain a conversation (about a role)", tells his manager Matt Luber to The NY Daily News.

As the "Furious 7" is focused on the revenge of Owen Shaw's brother Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) against Dom, Kurt Russell's role in the current film is merely supporting.  

As Diesel (playing Dominic Toretto) informs the viewers in Jimmy Kimmel Live, Mr. Nobody (Russel's character) is going to take a larger role in the two thirds of the film trilogy before it hits farewell.

His character will obviously be more essential to the development of the trilogy as Dom and his gang explores the world of shadowy government officials and covert operations to stop mercenaries and terrorists-for-profit organizations.

Eva Mendes as Agent Fuentes might be returning as the government's role in the movie widens. It was also speculated that Sean Boswell, played by Lucas Black, may be an additional member of Dominic's team as it was reported that Black had been given a contract for other two fast and furious movies.

James Wan who directed "Furious 7" will not be taking part in the last installments of the film anymore as Justin Lin who directed four fast and furious movies to date is reportedly returning to finish the franchise.

As they've raced the roads of London, Rio de Janeiro, and Tokyo, Diesel then hopes to take the gang to the busy streets of New York.

With the success of its franchise earning a sizzling hot $3 Billion in the box office, it will come as no surprise if other movies like "Ghost in the Shell" live-action movie releasing on the same or near weekend date as "Fast and Furious 8" on April 14, 2017 will either move back or forward to avoid getting hit by drought.
