Principal photography on “Maze Runner: The Death Cure” has been further delayed to allow star Dylan O’Brien more time to recover from injuries he suffered during the shoot in mid-March.
20th Century Fox said in a statement Friday that it looks forward to restarting production as soon as possible.
O’Brien stars in the dystopian sci-fi franchise based on author James Dashner’s novels. He was filming the third and final installment in the series in British Columbia when he was injured.
A rep for the actor confirmed that the 24-year-old is recovering.
Fox did not comment on whether or not the delay would impact the film’s planned February 2017 release.
