Vin Diesel Reveals Emotional Plans for Fast & Furious 11: Brian O’Conner Might Return
The Fast & Furious franchise might have one more surprise in store — a heartfelt reunion with Brian O’Conner.
At a recent appearance at Fuel Fest in Pomona, California, Vin Diesel gave fans an emotional update on the upcoming final installment of the franchise. The event, hosted by Cody Walker (the brother of the late Paul Walker), set the stage for Diesel to share his vision for the finale of the Fast saga.
Speaking to the crowd, Diesel said he had a recent conversation with Universal Studios, where the studio requested a release in April 2027 for Fast & Furious 11. But Diesel had three non-negotiable conditions for the send-off — all of which tap into the series’ roots.
“The first is bringing the story back to Los Angeles,” Diesel said.
“Second, we need to bring back the car culture and street racing.”
“And third… it’s time to reunite Dom and Brian. That’s what fans deserve. That’s what you’re going to get.”
The mention of Brian O’Conner, the beloved character originally played by Paul Walker, instantly triggered an emotional response from fans. Paul tragically passed away in 2013 during the filming of Fast & Furious 7. His final scenes were completed using advanced CGI and stand-ins by his brothers, Cody and Caleb Walker, creating one of the franchise’s most touching moments — Dom and Brian parting ways on a symbolic drive.
As Fast & Furious 11 shapes up to be a tribute to its origins, there’s growing anticipation about how the team will respectfully honor Paul’s legacy while potentially bringing Brian back into the story — even if just for one final scene.
With Fast X delivering high-octane action and star-studded appearances from Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Brie Larson, and more — the eleventh chapter seems set to pull at heartstrings and ignite nostalgia like never before.
