The Maze Runner: The Death Cure

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle kept right on rolling at the box office last weekend. Amidst weak competition, and just one new wide release, it became the first film in 20 years released in December to take the top spot on the box office chart in February...

After three weekends at the top of the box office, ‘Jumanji’ was toppled by the third and final ‘Maze Runner’ film.

Waylaid by a terrible on-set accident, the film arrives January 26.

After a bit of a rocky start involving an injury suffered by star Dylan O’Brien, Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the third installment in the series based on the YA novels, is set to begin production in South Africa very soon. And a new character is joining the fray: Walton Goggins has boarded the film, so I guess that means we all have to watch it now.

It’s been a bumpy road for The Death Cure, to say the least. Earlier this summer, the next installment in The Maze Runner series was postponed indefinitely to allow Dylan O’Brien to recover from injuries he suffered during an on-set accident, leaving of the future of the franchise uncertain. But it looks like O’Brien may be close to to returning, as production is reportedly gearing up to continue next February.

Following an on-set accident in which Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien sustained serious injuries, the future of the next installment in the franchise has been left a little unclear. Production was recently suspended indefinitely on The Death Cure as the actor required more time to recover than previously assumed, leading to an extended delay that would make reassembling the entire cast and crew fairly difficult. But it looks as though the sequel will eventually come together after all — though not as quickly as some fans had hoped.

Back in March, Dylan O’Brien was severely injured on the set of Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the third installment in the YA franchise. At the time, 20h Century Fox and director Wes Ball seemed optimistic that production would resume by early May, but according to a new report, O’Brien’s injuries are more serious than previously thought, as filming has been indefinitely delayed while the actor recovers.

Dylan O’Brien, the 24-year-old star of the Maze Runner franchise, was severely injured on the set of the upcoming sequel The Death Cure in Vancouver, British Columbia. According to TMZ, the actor was accidentally run over by a car while filming and was rushed to the hospital with “multiple broken bones.”
