The younger brother of the late 'Fast & Furious' star is reportedly joining the cast in future movies as a new member of street racing crew.
Paul Walker's young brother, Cody, must be impressing the filmmakers while shooting 'Fast & Furious 7' as he is set to star in additional films.
The 25 year-old stepped in as his older brother's double, due to the siblings looking alike, in order to finish several key scenes after the tragic death of Paul last November (2013).
The 40 year-old actor was killed in a car crash when visiting a charity event in Valencia, California, this past November (2013).
Walker was a passenger in a Porsche GT when it crashed after the driver lost control and collided with a post and tree which caused the car to burst into flames.
According to the Daily Mail, a source told the UK newspaper that Cody has secured a starring role in future 'Fast & Furious' movies.
"Paul's character Brian O'Conner will be seen retiring," the source said. "While his younger brother will join the crew."
"Of course, Cody isn't a replacement for Paul in any way, but the producers were really grateful that he stepped in to help them finish this last film and Cody so likeable and charming," the insider continued. "It would be a tribute to Paul that Cody carries on the Walker name in the Fast and The Furious movies."
Just last month, Cody was photographed on-set embracing actress Jordanna Walker, who plays Paul's wife, in Malibu, California.

"Right now, a whole lot of time has not gone by yet (since Paul's death). It still doesn't feel real, because sometimes, working in this industry, making films, he'd be away from his family three, four, six months at a time, you know?" he said to the Associated Press. "And my only interaction would be a phone call. So, I know it's going to take a while."
'Fast and Furious 7' is slated to hit theatres on April 10th, 2015.
