As we have previously reported director James Wan confirmed on December 6 that the production of remaining scenes of "Fast & Furious 7" will resume soon. Subsequently the guesswork about who will replace late walker and how his character will be brought to a close has started circulating. Even a fan- written plot also surfaced online and garnered huge popularity.

According to earlier reports the movie's production team had a word about the whole matter, and offered them with a deal to replace Paul Walker in "Fast & Furious 7" with Cody Walker.

"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," revealed a source to the Daily Mail.

"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," explained the source.
