It seems fans will have to wait a little longer for their favorite upcoming Maze Runner movie to get released as the production of "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" has been delayed due to actor Dylan O'Brien's injuries which he sustained on the sets sometime earlier this year.

O'Brien met with a serious accident on the sets of "Maze Runner: The Death Cure", when he was shooting in Vancouver, Canada last March 18.  According to the Hollywood Reporter, Dylan O'Brien "was in a harness on top of a moving vehicle when he was pulled off the vehicle unexpectedly and hit by another vehicle." Work on the film has been suspended since the accident. The accident left him a concussion, facial fracture and lacerations.

Dylan was expected to return back to work in a few weeks, but, now, it seems the actor will need more time to recover from his injuries. A new statement coming from producers at Fox has confirmed that they have not yet decided on a date when the film's production work will resume. It is reported that a new date will be set depending on O'Brien's recovery. The actor's injuries are more severe than first believed.

"His injuries are very serious, and he needs more time to recover," O'Brien's publicist Jennifer Allen said in a statement, reported NME. "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. We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and look forward to restarting production as soon as possible," the statement read.

The film "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" was originally scheduled for release on February 17, 2017. But, now looking at the situation it doesn't seem like that the film will make it to the scheduled release. Death Cure is the third film in the Maze Runner franchise.

O'Brien is widely popular for his role on TV's "Teen Wolf" series. According to his Maze Runner co-star Giancarlo Esposito, the actor is healing pretty well.

"He's one tough cookie," Esposito said in an interview with E! News in April.
