Justin Bieber has yet to respond to the rumors that he'll be replacing Paul Walker's character in the upcoming action flick "Fast and Furious 7." First off, there's no way to "replace" Walker's beloved character, Brian O'Conner. But will the Biebs really have a starring role in the film?

UPDATE: Paul Walker's brother Cody to replace 'Fast and Furious 7' star after tragic death? Following Justin Bieber rumors, Twitter fans' mixed reactions to actor's younger 'lookalike'

The story's currently going viral on Mstars, check it out:

Several months ago, this (un)official "Fast and Furious 7" movie trailer starring Justin Bieber went viral on the web:

(From July 2013)

_____________

Justin Bieber stars alongside Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Michelle Rodriguez in the action-packed seventh installation of the "Fast & Furious" film series. Well, not exactly, but the Biebs and his "fast cars" DO star in a mock trailer that's since gone viral online. The "Boyfriend" crooner goes totally bada$ in the one-minute clip... he even gets shot and blooded-up by Rodriguez! So what do fans think - would 19-year-old Bieber make an awesome addition to the blockbuster franchise that centers on illegal street racing and heists?

"Fast & Furious 6" just hit theaters back in May - "Fast & Furious 7" already started shooting in August 2013. Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Vin Diesel, Ludacris, and Jordana Brewster all signed on to star as their characters from previous films. So where does the Biebs fit in with all of this?

______________

Well, he doesn't - this FAKE trailer was posted by HollywoodLife back in July to thrill Beliebers. Apparently Ludacris once suggested that he'd try to land his buddy a role in the upcoming flick. But that was all mere speculation.

Now things have taken a rather somber turn. "Fast and Furious" star Paul Walker recently passed away in a tragic car crash, and Universal indefinitely shut-down production following this shocking accident.

Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers.

"At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise.

We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker."

But rumors suggest that the show must go on. Apparently, producers plan on rewriting the script and retiring Walker's character Brian O'Conner (by using already-filmed footage of the deceased star).

So... what's the deal with Bieber?

On Twitter, a rumor start circulating that the Biebs would actually replace O'Conner in the film. Several fans were NOT amused:

@TamlynLeeMatt: "Justin Bieber replacing Paul in fast and the furious, oh kill me now."

@r3bel8: "So Justin Bieber might be replacing Paul Walker's role in Fast and Furious, ARE YOU A D*CKHEAD."

@deIistatus: "If they put Justin Bieber in the next Fast and Furious movie it'll be the biggest disgrace to Paul Walker and the whole F and F series."

@Bullysnomore: "I'm sorry, justin bieber isn't good enough to be a pimple on paul walker's a$$, much less replace him. WTF???"

@HenryDoee: "I would rather the fast and furious series end than have Justin Bieber be in it."

Pretty harsh stuff - some fans even reacted to the "Fast and Furious 7" rumors with these epic Twitpics:

Bieber IS into fast, luxury cars... and rumors suggest that he wants to get more into the acting bizz. Do Mstars readers think that "Fast and Furious 7" is the perfect gig for the "All that Matters" crooner, or is the mere idea of it totally out-of-the-question?
