Justin Lin rejoined the "Fast" franchise for "F9" after dropping from the saga after "Fast & Furious 6." The decision to keep Brian alive and a part of the story was not his decision, because he was away from the series, but the director promised to honor that decision. When catching up with CinePOP, Lin noted that having Brian appear on screen in the next two movies is not out of the question. "Obviously, Paul and Brian are such a huge part; he's the heart and soul of how we were able to keep going," he said. "As we're approaching our final chapter, it's a conversation I'm having and trying to be, you know, as respectful in how we approach it. And I can tell you that every day I feel like I'm constantly going back and forth, and it's a constant discourse."
If Brian does appear in "F10" and "F11," it likely will be along the lines of a cameo, as a significant role would be risky, given the amount of CGI that would need to be used. Walker's daughter, Meadow Walker, is suspected of having some sort of role in the upcoming film(s). "Let's just say nothing's ruled out," Vin Diesel told E! News' Daily Pop regarding Brian, while noting he didn't want to give away any "F10" secrets. We hope we can see some sort of connection between Meadow's character and Brian on screen, should it all work out.
