Paul Walker's Fast & Furious 7 character 'will retire and not be killed off'

I was 100% certain that we already had a FF7 thread. I searched and got no hits. So, I guess we shall start here then. As for the revelation of 'retiring' Brian Conner, I'm down with that. Killing him off screen was never going to happen. Why would you want to stigmatize the movie by rehasing a tragic event in real life? So yeah, I definitely think this is the best course of action. Retiring him will actually give us a "happy ending" as odd as that may sound.
