Did Vin Diesel Just Tease Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner Returning In ‘Fast And Furious 9’?

Could Fast and Furious 9 be bringing back Cody Walker as Paul Walker’s stand-in for Brian O’Conner? The franchise’s star Vin Diesel shared a set photo Saturday of him standing alongside Cody, the brother of the late Paul Walker, and that seems to be a popular rumor.

Cody and his brother Caleb both helped Furious 7 by standing in for their brother to finish some scenes after Paul Walker’s tragic death in a car accident at age 40. Fast and Furious 9 is filming for its May 2020 release date and Cody, now 31, was there on set with Vin Diesel, who shared the touching moment with the following caption:

There is something special that happens every time Cody comes to visit production…. Always making Pablo proud! All love, always.

“Pablo” is Vin Diesel’s affectionate name for Paul Walker, who he referenced in the post with Cody. You can see the Instagram post below:

This photo could easily pass for Dom and Brian walking together — or Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Could that be what this post is alluding to? With an emphasis on family throughout the franchise, bringing Paul Walker’s character back wouldn’t be entirely out of the question and both Cody and Caleb have stood in for their brother before.
