There have been rumors that "Fast and Furious 7" could be the last movie of Vin Diesel for the film franchise. Just recently, the official Facebook page of the film posted a photo of the 47-year old actor with the note "One Last Ride" on it. They captioned the image, "We're ready. Are you? #Furious7". Does that mean that we will see Dominic Toretto race for the last time?
After Paul Walker's untimely death, the cast and crew decided to continue with his character rather than killing off Brian O'Conner. According to The Hollywood Reporter, director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Universal's lead executive on the Fast films, pored over the footage Wan had shot. The trio then devised a plan to tweak the existing script so that Walker would remain a part of the story but could be written out, allowing the franchise to continue without him."
THR also reported, "The changes will require some additional scenes to be written and shot, but the eight-month delay of release provides plenty of time." Since Vin Diesel's partner and best friend will be last seen in "Fast and Furious 7", there have been speculations that he will also bid farewell.
Until today, the "Guardians of the Galaxy" star still misses his co-star even if it has been more than a year that he has been gone. On January 31, Vin Diesel posted a photo of himself and the late Paul Walker on Facebook. Both looked very sad on the picture.
During an interview a few months ago, the actor confessed how difficult it was for him to cope up with Paul Walker's death. Vin told Michael Strahan of "Live with Kelly and Michael", "It's a heavy thing, Michael. You know?" He added, "I grew up in the bouncer world, and we lost people while we were bouncing. But the brotherhood in Paul Walker was something completely different."
The New Yorker also admitted, "It's one of the darker moments in this, in my journey." He added, "Yeah. Yeah guys, you know it's a rough one. You all had people you love that passed away." Do you think "Fast and Furious 7" will be the last Fast franchise movie of Vin Diesel?
