Over the years, thestunts inFast & Furiousmovies have gotten more ridiculous and over-the-top.
Alongside Diesel, Walker was the lead of theFast & Furiousfranchise.
Even though Walker passed away in real life,Furious 7does not kill off Brian O’Connor.
Instead, Brian decides to retire so that he can spend time with his family.
Therefore,the ending ofFurious 7is focused on the relationship between Dom and Brian.
After showing a montage of Walker throughout theFast & Furiousfranchise, Dom goes for a sunset drive alone.
Eventually, the road splits in two and Dom and Brian go their separate ways.
However, the decision on whether tocontinue the franchise afterFurious 7ultimately came down to Diesel.
Eight is from Paul.
Therefore,for Diesel, makingThe Fate of the Furiouswas a way of honoring Walker after his passing.
Therefore, it also made financial sense to continue the franchise afterFurious 7.
The last fewFast & Furiousmovies have proved that Brian truly was the heart of the group.

This is why it’s a good thing thatFast 11will reportedly be the last film in the franchise.
Without Brian, the franchise is running out of intriguing stories to tell.
