Summary

Furious 7's original ending involved a map and a knife.
Paul Walker's death significantly altered the film's conclusion.
The franchise's future saw visual effects used for Walker's character.

The original conclusion for Furious 7, conceived before Paul Walker's untimely death, has recently come to light. Following Walker's tragic passing in a car crash on November 30, 2013, production on the film was suspended. The team ultimately decided to retire Walker's character, Brian O'Connor, using visual effects to complete his scenes, rather than the initial plan.

The previously conceived ending for Furious 7 reportedly involved the characters deciding their next destination by randomly throwing a knife at a map. This more 'outlaw' approach was abandoned to ensure the film's completion and to provide a respectful send-off for O'Connor. The final scenes were rewritten to include a silent farewell between Dominic Toretto and Brian.

Despite Walker's absence, the character of Brian O'Connor has been kept alive within the Fast & Furious universe. His car was seen at the end of F9, and reports suggest he will be recreated using visual effects again for Fast & Furious 11, continuing his legacy in the franchise.
