To save their friends and defeat WCKD, they must break into the legendary Last City, a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may turn out to be the deadliest maze of all.

Production[edit]
In March 2015, it was confirmed that T.S. Nowlin, who co-wrote the first and wrote the second film, would adapt Maze Runner: The Death Cure.[1]
Wes Ball confirmed that, if he returns to direct, the film will not be split into two parts of film.[2]
On September 16, 2015, it was confirmed that Ball would return to direct the final film.
Filming[edit]
Principal photography began on March 14, 2016, in Vancouver.[3][4] Previously it was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con International that filming would begin in February 2016.[5]
On March 18, 2016, it was reported that actor Dylan O'Brien was injured on set and was hospitalized. James Dashner announced via Twitter that the production was postponed after the accident.[6] It was said that the producers were "looking to" resume filming around mid-May.[7] According to the Directors Guild of Canada's production list, the film was scheduled to resume filming on May 9, and complete principal photography on July 26. However, on April 29, 2016, production was shut down indefinitely as O'Brien's injuries were more serious than previously thought.[8]
Filming resumed on March 6, 2017 in Cape Town, South Africa.[9][10][11] In May 2017, it was announced that Walton Goggins would play the part of Lawrence, described as "an unusual and dangerous character who is part-revolutionary, part-anarchist, and a voice for the voiceless people."[12] Principal photography wrapped on June 3, 2017.[13]
Release[edit]
It was originally scheduled to be released in the United States on February 17, 2017.[14] However, due to Dylan O'Brien's injuries, the studio said that it was unlikely that this date was going to be met.[8] On May 27, 2016, 20th Century Fox rescheduled the film for January 12, 2018,[15] allowing time for Dylan O'Brien to fully recover.[16]
