The fate of Fast & Furious 7 was up in the air following the tragic passing of its star, Paul Walker, however today we can confirm that it has been given a new release date, April 10th 2015. What's more, Paul Walker will still star in the 7th installment of one of the most successful movie franchises to date.
Universal have confirmed this news, saying via a spokesperson: "Continuing the global exploits in the franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7, which will be released by Universal Pictures on April 10, 2015... James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series, and Neal H Moritz and Vin Diesel return as producers."
It would be presumed that this would perhaps be the most successful of all the Fast & Furious movies, given the untimely death of one of its most central characters.
Vin Diesel also took to his own Facebook to announce this news, saying: "The last scene we filmed together…There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared… in the film we were now completing… the magic captured… and, in just how far we've come… Fast and Furious 7 will be released…April 10th 2015!"
