Vin Diesel teases Paul Walker's return in Fast & Furious finale: ‘That is what you're going to get'
Diesel shared the update while attending Fuel Fest in Pomona, California. The automotive event was hosted by Paul Walker's brother, Cody Walker. Addressing fans of the high-octane saga, Diesel revealed what's in store for the last ride, and it might include a reunion previously thought impossible.
'Just yesterday I was with Universal Studios … The studio said to me, 'Vin, can we please have the finale of Fast & Furious [in] April 2027?' I said, 'Under three conditions because I've been listening to my fanbase,'' Diesel said. He then laid out those conditions: 'The first is to bring the franchise back to L.A.,' he continued. 'The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing.' As for the third? It's the one that left fans most emotional: 'The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O'Conner. That is what you're going to get in the finale.'
Paul Walker tragically passed away in November 2013, in a car crash at the age of 40. At the time, he was in the middle of filming Fast & Furious 7. The team behind the film gave Brian a poignant farewell using a blend of CGI, 350 VFX shots, and stand-ins by his brothers Cody and Caleb Walker, ending with the now-iconic scene of Dom and Brian driving off in separate directions.
The previous installment, Fast X, released in May 2023, featured an ensemble cast including Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Brie Larson, Alan Ritchson, and Rita Moreno. But as Diesel hints at a return to the franchise's roots — street racing, L.A., and possibly Brian O'Conner — fans are already bracing for what could be the most emotional farewell yet.

Jason Momoa Reflects on His Son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa Being Cast in Dune Part 3: ‘A Rude Awakening is What He…'
Jason Momoa is set to return to the Dune franchise with the upcoming third film. While the actor's reprisal of the role will be of much importance in the storyline of the new film, his son too has joined the stellar star cast to portray the character of Leto II. Nakoa-Wolf Momoa will majorly share the screen space with the Silo star, Ida Brooke, who will play the other twin of Paul and Chani. As for the Aquaman star, Momoa's character sacrificed himself at the end of the first film in order to save Paul, portrayed by Timothee Chalamet and his mother. According to the book, Duncan marks his presence in the storyline in the clone form. However, it is not clear if Villeneuve will follow the novel or create something new altogether. Jason Momoa on casting of his son in Dune Speaking of his son acting in the film, Momoa claimed that it was a 'rude awakening.' While in a conversation with Extra, the movie star stated, 'A rude awakening is what he's in for,' referring to his son's casting. Momoa further added, 'He's into the workforce for the first time. It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him, and he's done it all on his own, and good for him.' The Fast X actor continued, 'You want your children to be better than you, and I really, actually believe he is.' He went on to state, 'I couldn't do what he's doing at his age. There's no way I could sit in a room with Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on 'Baywatch' at 19. He's 16 and holding shit down with Denis Villeneuve.' Meanwhile, for his part in the film, Jason underwent a major transformation. The actor trimmed his beard for the first time in six years. He dropped a video of himself on Instagram, and as he picked up the trimmer to cut the beard hair, he was heard saying, 'Only for you, Denis.' Momoa further added, 'Goddamnit! I hate it.' As for Dune Part 3, the movie is set to hit theaters in December 2026.

Did The Summer I Turned Pretty star Gavin Casalegno cheat on Larsen Thompson before marrying Cheyanne? Fans compare him to Jeremiah
The Summer I Turned Pretty fans are giving Gavin Casalegno the side-eye, as his off-screen love life seems to mirror his on-screen persona a little too closely. Known for playing the charming but emotionally messed Jeremiah Fisher, Gavin has now found himself at the centre of real-life relationship rumours, with fans pointing out just how much his personal life is beginning to resemble the drama unfolding in The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3. Gavin Casalegno and Larsen Thompson's relationship Gavin Casalegno and Larsen Thompson were that low-maintenance, soft-launch couple everyone quietly rooted for. They started dating in early 2017—Gavin was still in his pre-TSITP era and Larsen already a runway regular with her signature red hair and killer dance videos. Their relationship had all the markers of a long-haul romance: sweet Valentine's posts, prom pics in 2019, anniversary tributes, and even a surprise Universal Studios birthday visit where Gavin jokingly 'proposed' with a Hershey's Kiss. For six years, they served quiet stability, showing up for each other on carpets and in cozy social media slideshows. Then 2022 happened. There was no official breakup statement, but the signs were all there—deleted posts, unfollows, and a noticeable absence from each other's feeds. Their last known public appearance was at New York Fashion Week in February 2022, and by August, it was clear something had shifted. Fans were stunned. After six years of being each other's constants, the silence felt louder than any messy breakup ever could. Cheyanne King and Gavin's marriage shocked fans Just months after the split with Larsen Thompson, Gavin Casalegno surfaced on Cheyanne King's social media, even before fans knew they were dating. Then in November 2024, came the surprise: an Instagram wedding dump announcing they'd tied the knot. The speed shocked fans. Some Reddit users pointed to on-set behaviour during The Summer I Turned Pretty production, as rumours of Gavin flirting with extras and potentially forming romantic connections before the marriage stirred debate. While none of these claims were confirmed, the overlap in timelines—the relationship ended, rumours emerged, then a new private union—made social media quick to call it shady. Fans now see Gavin as a mirror of his on-screen persona Jeremiah The drama got juicier when The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 revealed Jeremiah cheating on Belly. Fans couldn't help but draw parallels: onscreen Jeremiah breaks trust; real-life Gavin allegedly had overlapping ties while still 'publicly' single. Recently, a video highlighting Gavin and Cheyyane's twisted relationship timeline made its way online, and fans couldn't help but point out how their quick marriage reminded them of Jeremiah. One user wrote, "Damn, he gets more and more like Jeremiah every day." Another user shared an interesting observation, writing, "He played a younger version of Damon in TVD. Both Ian and Gavin are problematic when it comes to relationships, apparently. Ian was obsessive about marriage as well. Apparently, Gavin is following in his footsteps. Both Damons are trouble." "He sucks in the show and in real life? WOw," one shared. While these speculations have been circulating online, there's no confirmation to back them up. As of now, Gavin and Cheyenne appear to be going strong in their marriage. The couple recently bought their first home together, a milestone Cheyenne proudly shared on her social media, and they continue to look happy and settled in this new chapter of their lives.
