In an interview with ET , Caleb said he spoke with Vin Diesel about bringing O'Conner back for a future film. "I had a phone call with Vin for about an hour and we really discussed this a while back," he said."He wanted [our] blessing," Caleb continued, noting that Diesel wanted to check with them to see if it "would be acceptable to maybe bring Paul's character back… to really kind of let his fans know he's still out there."Cody chimed in, adding, "Universal wants to make sure to be respectful of Paul and his image too, and his family."The Fast and the Furious 8 is being directed by Straight Outta Compton's F. Gary Gray and will open in theaters April 2017.
