The Furious 7 cast is led by Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Michelle Rodriguez as Letty Ortiz, with Jason Statham as the villain Deckard Shaw. Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce), Ludacris (Tej Parker) and Jordana Brewster (Mia Toretto) complete the returning crew, while Kurt Russell arrives as Mr. Nobody and Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey. Furious 7 (2015), directed by James Wan, opened in US theaters on April 3, 2015. Think of it as a family dinner where several new relatives turn up at once, because Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa and Ronda Rousey were all reported as joining in 2013, and The Hollywood Reporter described the film as Jaa's first studio picture. Paul Walker died on November 30, 2013, before filming ended, and his brothers Caleb and Cody stood in to help finish his scenes.

Vin Diesel leads Furious 7 as Dominic Toretto, who is helping Letty recover her memory when Deckard Shaw begins hunting the crew. Diesel is also one of three credited producers, alongside Neal H. Moritz and Michael Fottrell. He played a public part in casting as well, since Deadline reported that Diesel confirmed Kurt Russell's arrival in a Facebook post in September 2013.
Paul Walker plays Brian O'Conner in Furious 7, a character who is getting used to being a father. Walker died on November 30, 2013, and production paused on December 4 before resuming on March 31, 2014. The Hollywood Reporter reported that his brothers Caleb and Cody helped complete his remaining action, and Weta Digital added Walker's face in more than 350 shots.
Dwayne Johnson plays Luke Hobbs in Furious 7, whom Deckard Shaw attacks at a government office early in the story. The TMDB credits give Hobbs a family on screen, with Eden Estrella billed as Samantha Hobbs. Johnson and Jason Statham later led the spinoff Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019), directed by David Leitch, which brought both characters back.
Michelle Rodriguez plays Letty Ortiz in Furious 7, who is still recovering her lost memory as the film begins, with Dom helping her piece it back together. Her story with Dom runs alongside Deckard Shaw's pursuit of the crew, and the credits even include a Letty Fan, played by Gentry White.
Tyrese Gibson returns as Roman Pearce in Furious 7, one of the crew pulled back from ordinary life in the US when Deckard Shaw comes after them. When filming ended on July 10, 2014, The Hollywood Reporter covered Gibson celebrating the wrap with Paul Walker's brothers, Caleb and Cody, who had helped finish the shoot.
Ludacris, credited by his stage name, plays Tej Parker in Furious 7. He is billed sixth in the TMDB credits, directly after Tyrese Gibson as Roman Pearce. Tej is part of the crew that Deckard Shaw's revenge drags back into action, after the team had settled into ordinary lives following their win over Owen Shaw.
Jordana Brewster plays Mia Toretto in Furious 7, Dom's sister, who is at home while Brian adjusts to being a father. The young child Jack is played by two performers, Miller Kimsey and Charlie Kimsey, both credited in the role on TMDB, and the Toretto home is later wrecked by Deckard Shaw's letter bomb.
Jason Statham plays Deckard Shaw in Furious 7, the older brother of Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), and Deckard swears revenge after the crew beats Owen. In the story, Deckard attacks Luke Hobbs at a government office and wrecks the Toretto home with a letter bomb. Variety's September 2013 report on Djimon Hounsou already listed Statham in the cast.
Kurt Russell plays Mr. Nobody in Furious 7, a government man who needs the crew's help to rescue a kidnapped hacker. Variety reported in 2013 that Russell was negotiating for a role Universal had reportedly first offered to Denzel Washington. Deadline confirmed him that September, with John Brotherton cast as Sheppard, described as the right hand man of Russell's character.
Nathalie Emmanuel plays Ramsey in Furious 7, the hacker whose program puts her at the center of the chase and who first needs to be rescued. Deadline reported her casting in September 2013 and described her as best known for Missandei on HBO's Game of Thrones. Universal kept the character under wraps then, though a source said she would join Dom Toretto's team.
Djimon Hounsou plays Mose Jakande in Furious 7, who is holding the kidnapped hacker Ramsey when the crew is sent to get her back. Variety broke the news of his casting as an exclusive in September 2013, when his role was still undisclosed. At that point the reported cast already included Ronda Rousey, Kurt Russell and Jason Statham, with James Wan directing.
Tony Jaa plays Kiet in Furious 7, billed twelfth in the TMDB credits. The Hollywood Reporter announced his casting as an exclusive in August 2013, reporting that the film would be his English language debut as well as his first studio picture. The same report noted that director James Wan, coming off The Conjuring, was due to start shooting that September.
The Furious 7 cast came together through the summer of 2013 and into September, after James Wan took over as director from Justin Lin, who had directed the four previous films. The Hollywood Reporter noted that Wan, coming off The Conjuring, was due to start shooting in September on an accelerated schedule for a July 11, 2014 release. Variety reported in August 2013 that Ronda Rousey, then the UFC women's champion, was in talks to join the film, and The Hollywood Reporter reported that Tony Jaa had signed for his English language debut and first studio picture.
Variety reported in late August that Kurt Russell was in talks for a role Universal had reportedly first offered to Denzel Washington. In September, Deadline reported Nathalie Emmanuel, Variety reported Djimon Hounsou, and Deadline later confirmed Russell along with John Brotherton as Sheppard. So, how did the cast finish the film after Paul Walker died on November 30, 2013? Production paused on December 4, resumed on March 31, 2014 and ended on July 10, 2014, with the release moved to April 3, 2015. Walker's brothers stood in for him, and the full plot and crew details sit on the furious 7 page.
Furious 7 brings back seven principal actors and adds a group of newcomers led by Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw. The returning names are Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Jordana Brewster. Luke Evans is credited as Owen Shaw, whose defeat sets Deckard's revenge in motion. Lucas Black is back as Sean Boswell from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), directed by Justin Lin, and Deadline reported in September 2013 that his deal covered at least three installments.
The newcomers alongside Statham are Kurt Russell as Mr. Nobody, Nathalie Emmanuel as Ramsey, Djimon Hounsou as Mose Jakande, Tony Jaa as Kiet and Ronda Rousey as Kara. If you are tracing who appears where across the saga, the fast and furious movies hub lists every film in release order.
