Maze Runner: The Death Cure has been delayed indefinitely to allow Dylan O’Brien to make a full recovery

Production on 20th Century Fox‘s Maze Runner: The Death Cure has been delayed indefinitely today to allow leading man Dylan O’Brien to make a full recovery from the injuries he sustained during a tragic on set accident last month. Thankfully, the star appears to be on the road to a full recovery but it is expected to take somewhat longer than the initial six week estimate. As such, the planned February 17, 2017 release for Death Cure has been cancelled with a new release date expected to be announced shortly. 

“The resumption of principal photography on ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ has been further delayed to allow Dylan O’Brien more time to fully recover from his injuries,” reads the official statement. “We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and look forward to restarting production as soon as possible.”

“He’s healing very well,” costar Giancarlo Esposito recently told E!. “He got put together a couple of weeks ago… He’s one tough cookie. He got his bell rung. I would imagine many who witnessed thought that was it… [But] he’s a survivor. The one good thing about Dylan that I think is going to help him get back on schedule with us very soon is he has a great attitude.

As with the previous two movies in the franchise, Maze Runner: The Death Cure is directed by Wes Ball from a screenplay by T.S. Nowlin, adapting the YA novels of James Dashner. It follows the events of 2014’s The Maze Runner and 2015’s Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and co-stars Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Rosa Salazar, Ki Hong Lee and Dexter Darden. (comingsoon.net)
