His reply raised more questions than it answered. He stated that he will not be able to confirm at the moment whether Walker’s character would make an appearance in the film.
However, at the same time he pointed out that he would be represented in some form within the movie. That being said, he added that unlike Fast and Furious 7, he won’t be present in Fast and Furious 8 as an actor.
Some of the other cast members who are confirmed for the movie include- Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez and Ludacris. It was also being rumored that Helen Mirren and popular Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone might also make an appearance in the movie.
