#The death cure film code#
However, since the release of The Death Cure book in 2011, Dashner has added two more books to the series: prequels The Kill Order (2012) and The Fever Code (2016). After all, it's where the books originally ended.
Note the use of the word "finish."īased on James Dashner's Maze Runner trilogy, it's fitting that the Maze Runner movies would come to an end after this third chapter. "It means a lot to me to be able to finish the film and finish the trilogy," O'Brien said in an interview with USA Today. That said, actor Dylan O'Brien, who starred as Thomas for three films and was severely injured on the set of Death Cure, has made it pretty clear that this is where his Maze Runner journey ends. His savior complex is still just as alive as ever, and it's clear that, should the studio and creative minds behind the project deem the Maze Runner franchise worthy of more films, there's plenty of story left to be told. The movie, like the book it's based on, gives each character a satisfying ending, ( light spoilers ahead), though Death Cure's last scene does hint that Thomas' story might not be as over as we thought. In Death Cure, fans of the Maze Runner franchise will get to see what happens to the original crew from the glades, Thomas, Newt, Minho, and Teresa. But while Death Cure is the last Maze Runner movie, fans of the original trilogy and the book series it was adapted from shouldn't be too upset, as there's still hope that more Maze Runner stories could be told onscreen, in one form or another. Almost four years after the release of The Maze Runner, the third film in the saga, The Maze Runner: Death Cure, is hitting theaters and concluding the dystopian action franchise. Another year passes, another YA sci-fi saga comes to an end.
