Meadow Walker wore a simple black blazer for the event and shared a warm hug with Vin Diesel before stepping in with the rest of the cast for group photos. It was a clear tribute to her father, who portrayed Brian O’Conner across the first six films before his tragic death in a car accident in 2013, He was just 40 years old at the time of his death. Since then, Meadow’s stayed close with the cast. She even made a cameo appearance in “Fast X,” and she’s always said how much she values her relationship with Vin Diesel, who is her godfather.

This wasn’t just a meet-up for old times’ sake. It was a moment to remember Paul Walker’s impact and to highlight how massive the franchise has become. The Cannes organizers pointed out the numbers: ten movies, $7 billion at the box office, and a cast that just about everyone in action movies knows.

They’re not done, either. Universal Pictures announced that the next movie, “Fast Forever,” is coming out with the original crew on March 17. For everyone involved, standing together at Cannes was a chance to look back at where it all began and to honor Paul Walker’s role in making the series what it is today.
