Cody Beau Walker (born June 13, 1988) is an American actor. He is the youngest brother of actor Paul Walker; and helped complete the final scenes for Paul's character, Brian O'Conner, in the film Furious 7 (2015) following his brother's death.
But, instead of acknowledging the end of Brian's time with the team, Furious 7 would've ended by setting up the team's next mission together. It is unclear exactly how Morgan's original script planned to do this, but he has said that there was an insinuation that another mission was in the future.
No, Cody Walker does not appear in the latest Fast and Furious instalment. Though he has not ruled out further appearances in future films.

The drug lord's mansion was also a real mansion in the Coral Gables neighborhood that was owned by Sylvester Stallone.
The film was a box office success and it received positive reviews from critics for its action sequences and emotional tribute to Walker, with many considering it to be one of the best films in the franchise.
Recently, The Fate of the Furious producer Neal Moritz explained in a podcast how Walker's death nearly led to Furious 7 being cancelled completely. "Honestly, when that happened, when his passing happened, when that accident happened, we were like, 'We're not gonna finish the movie'," he said.
