Diesel wrote an emotional note valuing their involvement and how they gave the entire cast and crew the strength to pull through and make the film.
Diesel posted the image on his Facebook page on February 16.
Here's the heartening bit:
"In someways, the true confidence to continue Seven, came from these two...
With great courage and commitment, the Walker brothers worked tirelessly to assist us... in honoring Pablo.
On April 3rd you will see why I am so proud of them... F7"
Director James Wan will be helming the franchise for the very first time with the seventh in the series.
Despite 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 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.
Furious 7 will hit theaters in April 3, 2015.
