According to Us Weekly, The 27-year-old has joined the cast of the World War II movie, USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage --his first big gig since filling in for Paul in Furious 7 after his death in 2013.

The movie co-stars Nicolas Cage, Tom Sizemore, Thomas Jane, Matt Lanter and Brian Presley.  It tells the story of the crew of the Indianapolis which was torpedoed in the South Pacific in 1945 during a classified mission delivering parts for the first atomic bombs. The ship was not reported missing until four days later. There were 1,196 crewmen on the ship -- 300 died when it went down and the rest were left in peril while waiting for help to arrive. Cody will be playing a member of the crew.

It will be directed by Mario Van Peebles and is expected to hit theaters over Memorial Day weekend of 2016.
