Paul Walker's character of Brian O'Conner will be retiring in the upcoming Fast and Furious 7 movies as the filmmakers decided this was the best plan of action following his untimely death.

According to Vibe, the footage of Walker that was already shot in the film will be used and worked into the movie now. Additional footage and scenes will then be shot to fully exit O'Conner from the series. Perhaps these scenes will be shot with a body double, or filled in with CGI, although nothing has been announced.

Walker's brother Cody was rumored to be called in to finish the deceased actor's scenes, but that has not materialized as well. Cody is not a stranger to film sets and has done some stunt work in films.

"Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended 'Fast & Furious' family of cast, crew and filmmakers," a release from the studio said a few days after Walker's accident. "At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on 'Fast & Furious 7' for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise."

"We are committed to keeping 'Fast & Furious' fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker," it continued.

The actor was reprising his role as Brian O'Connor, a character he had played in five of the six other movies.

"Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul's death. They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that's when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody," a source told Mail Online. "They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on. If Cody agrees it's because he wants to honor his brother's memory. There are many details that still need to be worked out, but right now the family and cast and crew are all still grieving."

The movie is slated for an April 10 2015 release.
