Why didn't Brian O'Conner return for The Fate Of The Furious with a different actor?


Why couldn't they bring the character back with a different actor?

Because that's Pauls character. When Vin left the Fast the Furious after the first movie they didn't cast someone else as Dom. They kept the story going with new people and now they're doing it in Pauls unfortunate absense after death.

Brian had a great ending anyway so I wouldn't expect nor need to see too much more of him moving forward anyway.

I agree my friend. Paul Walker was who he is for the character, and no one could take his place. You see what I mean?

Yeah.
