After the O’Conners mention in the 2017 film The Fate Of The Furious, seeking help about Dom Toretto’s betrayal, the makers had decided that they wouldn’t include Paul Walker in the film, as a respect to him. Now, as per the latest reports in FandomWire, a source revealed that the production has disclosed that they are currently casting a Paul Walker double for the upcoming 2020 film Fast & Furious 9.
