It's been three years since Paul Walker's tragic death, and the "Furious 8" might have something in store for fans as a tribute to the late actor.

"Fast and Furious 8" to bring Paul Walker's character back?

If you have been following the movie franchise, the "Furious 7" does not exactly indicate that there won't be Brian O'Conner in the family. The ending of the movie shows O'Conner and Dominic Toretto taking a different path.

It can be argued that his tragic death has left the movie with a huge question mark - will there be Brian O'Conner in the next installment?

As a reminder, the incomplete scenes in "Furious 7" were filmed using the faces of Cody and Caleb Walker with the help of CGI technology.

There is a huge possibility that Brian will be joining Dom in another race in "Furious 8". According to reports, the upcoming movie is said to bring Walker's character back. Caleb who spoke to Diesel over the phone, admitted that the actor mentioned about 'bringing Paul's character to the film'.
