The Fast & Furious franchise isn't done yet! With Furious 7 set to hit theaters in 2015, the creators of the franchise are already talking about what's next, even without the films' star Paul Walker.

After Paul passed away in November 2013 we didn't think Furious 7 would get finished let alone think that there would be another installment of the franchise, but both are happening. In fact, Universal Pictures believes that there is at least enough support for the films to create three more movies without Paul.

When asked about whether or not the series could last without Paul going forward, Don Langley, Universal Pictures chairman told The Hollywood Reporter, "I believe it does. We think there's at least three more."

"Paul is, and always will be, an integral part of the story. But there are many other great characters, and it's also an opportunity to introduce new characters. I think it's still a growing franchise."

He continued saying, "We'll see what happens with Furious 7, obviously, but our box office has grown over the past three or four films and internationally, in particular. So we think that there's more to mine there. But we're of course very mindful about fatigue."

The current film, which hits theaters April 3, 2015, stars Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, Ludacris as Tej Parker, Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto and Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto. Paul Walker will be seen in the film as his iconic character Brian O'Conner, having filmed the majority of the movie before dying.

The cast is still trying to deal with the loss of their friend and costar, but the new film will allow them all to see Paul one more time. "I think the beautiful thing is that they get to see Paul again...and in a way celebrate him. I've heard he's really really good in it, so I look forward to seeing him too. Obviously it will be bittersweet, but I think it's a way for fans to revisit him," Jordana exclusively told E! News in October.
