He started his career as an intern at Las Vegas Weekly, where his first professional movie review was Reign of Fire, starring Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale, and CGI dragons. Whether through more CGI scenes or increasingly clever nods to the character, Paul Walker's Fast and Furiouslegacy lives on.Josh Bell is a freelance writer and movie/TV critic based in Las Vegas. It will be interesting to see how the franchise can give Brian a proper send-off if he is to appear again in the next one or two movies. Vin Diesel has confirmed that Fast 11 is in the cards and that they're considering turning Fast X into a full trilogy, meaning that the last movie in the franchise could actually be Fast 12. As the flashback heist from F5 commences, it's revealed that Dom and Brian actually made their worst enemy on that day, with Dante seeking revenge for his father's death throughout Fast X. This time, Paul Walker's Fast and Furious character is once again rendered in CGI - but only in brief moments of action, allowing Fast X to avoid the uncanny valley effect entirely. The movie opens in a flashback to the moments just before Dom and Brian's infamous vault heist from Fast and Furious 5, with Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida) introducing his son and new franchise big bad, Dante Reyes (Jason Momoa).

In Fast X, Brian O'Connor returns to the franchise, but only in glimpses of the past. Indeed, Brian was such a powerful and foundational force in The Fast Saga, that he didn't even really need to appear in F9 in order to make a convincing return. Moreover, in a franchise that made its bones by being over-the-top, this was a highly refreshing and surprising dose of subtlety, which hit long-time audiences of The Fast Saga hard. This was a much less risky way of bringing Paul Walker's Brian back.

Prior to this, Dom notices an empty chair at their table during a barbecue, and Mia tells Dom that the last guest will be arriving shortly.

Walker's character, Brian, does not appear at all in the movie, but it's clear that he's driving the blue 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R that shows up at Dom's house in the final scene. F9 cleverly avoided all the problems associated with CGI by putting a different spin on Paul Walker's Fast and Furious return.
