The 7th film will see Jason Statham's Ian Shaw character out for revenge against Dominic and Brian (Diesel and Paul Walker).
He also confirmed that he's seen the first trailer for the film, and had this to say:
"Universal came to visit, to show the trailer for FF7... Speechless... yeah, it was that INCREDIBLE! I must also say, that it was emotional and bittersweet... we all went above and beyond to make Pablo proud, but man, I wish he could see what we have created and just how far we have come."
Brothers Caleb Walker and Cody Walker are on hand to help finish the sequel following the tragic Nov. 30 2013 car-crash death of their sibling and star Paul. 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.
Jordana Brewster 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 franchise. Nathalie 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 and Latin-American singer Romeo Santos also star.
Wan called action using Chris Morgan's script.
The film, which in fact was originally supposed to open this past July, is scheduled to bow on April 3rd 2015 one week earlier than previously announced after the first date shift
