Fast X director Louis Leterrier (Lutare) addresses how Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner features in the upcoming sequel.
After first being introduced back in 2001's The Fast and the Furious, Walker's character would go on to play a prominent role in many subsequent franchise installments.
Walker tragically died in a car accident in 2013 partway through filming Furious 7 and hasn't been featured in the franchise since, but his character remains alive in the world of the films.
With the Fast X release date now about three months away, Leterrier has had an interview with Total Film to discuss his upcoming sequel.
Walker's character was briefly seen in the Fast X trailer during a flashback, but the director reveals that O'Conner won't appear during any scenes set in the franchise's present-day timeline.
