Paul Walker tragically passed away in November 2013, but fans will still be able to see him in Furious 7, out in theaters this Wednesday. That's because producers were able to finish the film with the help of Walker's younger brothers, Cody and Caleb, who stepped in to help on-set after Paul's death. Through the magic of CGI, producers were able to create a digital Paul Walker, with Cody and Caleb standing in for their brother.
Now it seems that Cody may be pursuing his own acting career. The 26-year-old doesn't have any previous acting experience besides the Furious 7 gig, but The Hollywood Reporter reports that he has been working with Paul's former manager, Matt Luber, and meeting with Hollywood talent agencies. According to their report, Cody plans to expand beyond the beloved drag-racing franchise, but it is unclear if he'll be in future installments. That's understandable—it might be tough for Cody to shine in Paul's shadow in the Fast and Furious series, or for the writers to create a new character specifically for Cody that works within the plot.
Still, it will be exciting to watch this Walker butterfly spread his wings and take flight. Cody was also scheduled to the attend the Furious 7 premiere Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
