Dailymail reports that 25 years old Cody Walker may film scenes as a poignant tribute to his elder brother who died in a fiery car crash.
Paul Walker was on a break from filming at the time of his death in a shocking car crash two weeks ago.
Following Paul's death, Universal Pictures announced it was their 'duty' to shut down production - adding they were 'dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew, and filmmakers.'
A source close to production said today: 'Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul's death.
'They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that's when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody.'
Cody, who lives in Oregon, has been staying with his mother Cheryl in Los Angeles and helping to comfort her since his brother's death, and the source added: 'They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on.
'If Cody agrees it's because he wants to honour his brother's memory. There are many details that still need to be worked out, but right now the family and cast and crew are all still grieving.
Paul Walker's funeral will be held tomorrow in an intimate service to be attended by families and close co-stars.
