What Will Paul Walker’s Death Mean For ‘Fast And Furious 7′? [PHOTOS/ VIDEOS]

One way or another, one Hollywood star would always be typecast into a certain role or forever be known for one film franchise. For example:

Sean Connery was well-known for being James Bond. Yet, Connery proved to be talented enough to play the role of someone who could something other than handle gadgets, kill, flirt and seduce women.

The same goes for "Harry Potter's" Daniel Radcliffe who obviously grew up from the role. In fact, even "Hunger Games'" Jennifer Lawrence is bound to detach herself from the part of Katniss Everdeen.

But Paul Walker became totally allied with the role of bad boy yet incerdibly good-looking racer, Brian O'Conner, in the "Fast and the Furious" film franchise.

With some bad-boy attitude, Brian O'Conner is a cop who surreptitiously catches criminals in the street-racing scene with a few adrenaline-fueled car chases involved. However, Walker's death in a car crash after a Los Angeles charity event for "Reach Out Worldwide" this weekend gloomily ended the association. Despite being just a passenger in the red Porsche, Walker suffered the same fate.

The Fast & Furious series was one of Universal's most beneficial franchises, and the role of Brian O'Conner was the one Walker was most famous for. It was also a part he loved being acknowledged with.

"I get that a lot. I'm Brian a lot more than I'm Paul Walker, which is awesome. When I hear, 'Hey Paul Walker!' my hair stands up on the back of my neck. It's uncomfortable. But when I hear 'It's Brian!' it's cool. I like Brian," said Walker in an interview with USA Today from the Atlanta set of "Fast & Furious 7" in one of his last interviews.

"The studio supposedly wants 8, 9 and 10," said Walker in his recent interview with the Collider, adding, "I'll be 50. Even if 7 were to [tank], there's at least an 8. That's a guarantee."

It's uncertain how much part Walker still had left to shoot on "Fast & Furious 7" but he was pivotal to the franchise and his character.

However, when other actors have passed away during the filming directors have set up a way to complete the movie for example: Heath Ledger's final act in The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus were concluded by Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp.

Lately, director George Sluizer finished "River Phoenix's Dark Blood" 20 years after the actor's death.

For a film of this magnitude, Wan and scriptwriter Chris Morgan will have to redraft the plot so that the seventh film pays tribute to Walker's legacy and provides conclusion for the franchise. Still, with the fact that Walker has already left the earth, the matter of how they'd portray the fate of his character is bound to be handled with utmost care.

"Fast & Furious" enthusiasts are still having trouble visualizing the movie without Brian O'Conner. To the fans, Walker was the spirit of the films.

The "Fast & Furious" series had become a summer tradition for fans around the globe. It was entertainment at its best. It was a series that sustained to progress and get better with each new opening.

"The thing that's pretty crazy is that neither Vin nor I were going back to do the third one. They were going to do a direct-to-video 4. They were going to dispose it and be done with it. But then, Vin was like, "No, I'll come in for a cameo," because it wasn't testing well. He wanted to set up the fourth one and the studio went for it, and we got a second life. It was supposed to be done already," said Walker in an interview with Collider.
