As filming for Fast and Furious 7 is through, Enstars rounds up all that we know about the action thriller, with all the latest updates.

Director James Wan will be helming the franchise for the very first time with the seventh in the series.

Despite Paul Walker's sudden death, and the impediments it spurred, the team has pulled itself together quite beautifully -- while still reeling from the tragedy -- and helped complete the film. Until recently there was little certainty on how Walker's character, Brian O'Connor will be bid adieu on the movie, and actors like Jordana Brewster, who plays Mia Toretto, Connor's lover in the film, had suggested that it will be "bittersweet."

But new reports revealed that the character will be given a happy send-off as opposed to what most believed, that he would be killed off in a car crash. Walker's younger brothers Cody and Caleb Walker stepped in to help complete Connor's character arc. Cody has also signed on to play a new character in the Fast and Furious 8.

If Brian will indeed receive a smooth exit and not one in a car crash as was being suspected, it seems like Caleb, the older of the two brothers will be playing Walker's part. Perhaps, Caleb will help conclude Brian's arc in the movie, while Cody plays the part of his brother.

The movie has mostly been shot in Abu Dhabi and Los Angeles.

Last year, footage was leaked from the film, featuring a very dramatic sequence with Walker, Diesel, Ludacris and Gibson attending a funeral. In the clip Walker, who plays Brian O'Connor, says that this will be the last funeral save one, that of their friend's killer.

The cast features Ludacris as Tej Parker, Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce, Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortz, Jason Statham as the main villain, Ian Shaw. Dwayne Johnson, who will play Luke Hobbs, and Kurt Russell are new additions to cast in this instalment.

In Fast and Furious 6, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his crew helped in taking down Owen Shaw (Evans). It is rumored that the plot for the new film will revolve around how the Toretto and his gang combat Owen's brother Ian (Statham), who is hellbent on avenging his brother's death

Fast and Furious 7 will take off from where Fast and Furious 6 left off. Wan took over the director's role from Justin Lin, who announced earlier in last year that he will step away from directing the franchise.

Fast and Furious 7 will release on April 3 2015.
