Maze Runner: The Death Cure has been further delayed because of Dylan O'Brien's injuries.
Fox released a statement on April 29 about the delay, reported Variety.
“The resumption of principal photography on ‘Maze Runer: The Death Cure’ has been further delayed to allow Dylan O’Brien more time to fully recover from his injuries,” Fox said, “We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and look forward to restarting production as soon as possible.”
O'Brien was injured on set on March 18, reported Hollywood Reporter. Sources said that he was on a harness above a moving vehicle. He was pulled off unexpectedly and hit another vehicle. A report from WorkSafeBC described his injuries as including a "concussion, facial fracture and lacerations."
The production company was supposed to resume filming May 9. However, O'Brien's injuries are more severe then they expected. Sources said that the rest of the cast and crew were sent home.
"His injuries are very serious, and he needs more time to recover," said O’Brien’s publicist, Jennifer Allen.
O'Brien plays Thomas, the main character in the trilogy. Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease called the "Flare."
The movie is set to be released on Feb. 17, 2017, however it might be delayed due to the incident.
