Movies you wish he would've done

I read he was supposed to star in S.W.A.T. He backed out and Colin Farrell played the part instead. I wish Paul had done it because I didn't like Colin Farrell in that. If there is going to be another Fast and the Furious movie, I wish Paul were alive to star in it. It won't be the same without him.

I think Paul would've been the perfect choice to play Barry Allen in a movie about The Flash. I loved the movie Drive, but I've gotten to dislike Ryan Gosling as an actor. I read Hugh Jackman was considered for the lead in that before Gosling. I think Paul Walker would've been a good choice.

I read this about Paul Walker's grandfather:

His grandfather Paul Walker, Jr. (aka. "Irish" Billy Walker) was a professional boxer, raced cars for Ford, and is a Pearl Harbor survivor.

Paul's grandfather must've led such a life. Maybe they could've made a movie about him with Paul in the role.

Last, I have been wanting them to remake Road House for years. I just found out it's happening and Rob Cohen is in the director's chair. For years, I have been suggesting The Rock or Vin Diesel to play Dalton in a Road House remake. But now that I found out Cohen is directing, it got me thinking of Paul Walker. Maybe rather than the muscle bound Vin Diesel or The Rock, Paul would be a good choice. He would've been more like the Patrick Swayze type than The Rock or Vin Diesel. If The Rock or Vin play the part, I'll be glad. But I wonder how Paul would've been.

R.I.P. Paul Walker. I didn't realize how much I liked him until he was gone.

Paul would've been good in limitless. It was a great movie with Bradley Cooper,but it would've been good for Paul acting with such a great like De Niro.

Other Movies - I agree with Drive. World War Z. Josh Duhamel's role in Transformers,would've worked with Tyrese again.James Marsden's role in 2 Guns.And judging from his performance in Hours,he could've played Hugh Jackman's character in Prisoners.

Paul was a great actor. He should've gotten better roles.

Lot of Superhero roles honestly

Johnny Storm,he was considered before Chris Evans was cast,I think he would have been perfect as Johnny Storm in a late 90s or early 2000s Fantastic Four movie

In the Current DC Movie Universe he would have been perfect as Green Arrow(Was my Top Choice in fact)

In the Early 2000s He would have been perfect as Captain America

Agent 47,Most people kept saying he was miscast but I was in the minority I actually curious to see how he would have done

I am not saying this because he is dead,but I actually thought he was getting better with each movie its really sad that he died

Why on earth would you want a remake? Especially considering how it almost always goes wrong.

I can't speak about a movie that I wish he had done, but I do wish he had done more roles as a bad guy. There is nothing more interesting than a clean-cut, handsome, charismatic man who is just BAD. I think he would have made a very interesting villain. Look at what he did in Pawn Shop Chronicles.

I think he would have been great in

Transformers
S.W.A.T (I didn't know he was suppose to be in that movie)
I can see him doing some comedy like The Other Guys

He would have been great in Prisioners! Never thought of that one. He was fantastic in Hours.
