Followers of the Fast & Furious franchise have shed their tears at the end of the 7th movie when Brian O’Conner and Dominic Toretto parted ways and O’conner drove into the distance following the death of actor Paul Walker who portrayed O’Conner. Now, Vin Diesel has dropped a bomb on his Instagram account, hinting a possible return of the character in the 9th film which is currently in filming.

The actor shared a photo of him alongside walker’s brother – Cody Walker on the set of the new film. The caption read: “There is something special that happens every time Cody comes to visit production. Always making Pablo proud! All love, always.”

This can be seen as a hint for Cody playing the role of Brian in the new film since Cody Walker (and his brother Caleb) has already filled Paul shoes when he helped finish the 7th movie after the accident that killed Paul. Another hint is the news of Jordana Brewster return to the cast. Brewster played Mia, Toretto’s sister and O’conner’s Wife and was absent from the 8th film.

It is all, of course, pure speculation as there was no official announcement about the return of O’Conner’s character or the extent of this return.
