But, Brian's role in the finale wasn't completely changed, as Walker did film significant scenes from the third act, including Dom's possible death. While Brian, Ramsey, and the other usual members of Dom's crew are focused on this part of the mission, Dom engages in a brawl with Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) and nearly dies as a parking garage collapses around him. In the end, the best direction for Furious 7 to take was to focus the attention of the changes on Brian's role and let the majority of the ending play out as planned.Īs a result, Furious 7's third act is focused on destroying God's Eye. Dom's team enlisted the aid of God's Eye creator Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel) to hack into the program and take it down.

Universal and Wan would've had to prolong filming even more to reshoot earlier parts of the film. With Walker's death and the rewrites coming about half-way through production, the general scope of the film was already in place. The changes made to Furious 7's ending were drastic in terms of what it meant for Brian's arc in the franchise, but the final version of the film proved to otherwise keep the core aspects of the finale intact. He knows by the end of the film that his growing family with Mia (Jordana Brewster) is what is most important to him, so making sure he was always there for him would've been a big part of how Furious 7's ending would shape Brian's future. Brian wouldn't completely leave them behind at the end of the film in this version, but he'd instead have different priorities. The original Furious 7 ending would've seen him continue to contemplate his place within the team. Nobody (Kurt Russell) and his organization.Īs far as Brian is concerned though, his role wasn't changed too drastically, except for when it came to setting up his future. But, Morgan did refer to Dom's team becoming more like outlaws, so that could indicate a different plan was in the works since they have since continued to work closely with Mr.

Whether this ending would've helped set up Cipher (Charlize Theron) or a totally different story is not known. With that in mind, it is likely that Furious 7 could've included set up for The Fate of the Furious' story by the end.

When Furious 7 was in development, Diesel teased that it was the start of a new trilogy of films. It is unclear exactly how Morgan's original script planned to do this, but he has said that there was an insinuation that another mission was in the future.
