But , instead of killing off the character on the screen , Universal decided to give him a more comforting send out - off inFurious 7by simplyhaving Brian retirefrom the bunch ’s operations .
Since then , there have been few references to Brian in The Fast Saga . for properly sell the mind that he ’s plainly enjoy a quiet life with his house , even Jordana Brewster had to retire from her function as Mia by not appear inFate of the Furious . But as the events ofFast & Furious 9became very personal to the Torettos with the return of their estranged brother , Jakob , she eventually had to come out of concealing and link the " la familia ’s " late charge .

Fast & Furious 9doubled down on the approximation that Brian is fine . As Dom ’s crew gathered for their even post - mission barbeque , with Mia already in her blood brother ’s home , her hubby ’s signature tune blue Nissan GT - r zoomed through the streets , indicating that he ’s on his way to connect his erstwhile crew , as well . If Mia remains involved with his brother ’s operations after their late bout with Jakob , there will be continued promise that , somehow , Brian , too , will appear physically . But while manager Justin Lin and his team can get creative in explaining why he opt to opt - out of the " la familia ’s " future endeavour , bringing him back forFast & Furious 11is mandatary .
