Fast & Furious 7 Photo: Paul's Brothers On Set

Vin Diesel took to his  Facebook page to post a photo of brothers Caleb Walker and Cody Walker who are on set of James Wan's Fast & Furious 7 to help finish the sequel following the tragic Nov. 30 2013 car-crash death of star Paul Walker.

Officially it's still unknown as to what their roles are, though it's thought they'll be working as body doubles for their late brother for his remaining scenes.

The 7th film will see Jason Statham's Ian Shaw character out for revenge against Dominic and Brian (Diesel and Walker).

Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson will be back in action as well. "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift" star Lucas Black will reprise his role as Sean Boswell. Universal has plans for the character since Black has in fact signed on for Fast & Furious 8 and 9.  Kurt Russell's role is the father of Chad Lindberg's Jesse from the first film. Jesse was shot in a drive-by shooting moments after pleading with Dominic to help protect him.

Mixed Martial Arts fighter Ronda Rousey and Thai martial arts superstar and Ong-bak star Tony Jaa will make his American film debut in the next installment of the action film franchiseNathalie Emmanuel--who starred as Daenery's new servant Missandei in the past season of Game of Thrones, plays a "significant" new member of  Diesel and Walker's team. Djimon Hounsou also stars.

Wan is calling action using Chris Morgan's script.

The film currently has an April 10th 2015 release date.


"When I heard the news, I left the production, grabbed a plane and took my family and [Rodriguez] back to LA... drove directly to his parent's house.... His Father said, Paul loved you Vin, I awkwardly and nervously said, aw come on... then he said... you don't have to get along every second to love each other... so true. P.s. After spending time with his biological brothers, I must say to the parents, you raised some great kids."
