After replacing Paul in certain Furious 7 scenes after the actor was killed in a November 2013 car crash, Cody will now be starring in the upcoming World War II film, USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage, alongside Nicolas Cage.
Cody will be playing one of the crewmen in Captain Charles Butler McVay's ship (McVay will be played by Cage), which was torpedoed in the South Pacific in 1945,Variety reports. The classified mission -- delivering parts for the first atomic bombs -- takes a deadly turn as the crew fights to stay alive after the ship goes down.
