Why We Didn't See More Maze Runner Movies (Details)

To the extent YA book-to-film transformations go, Maze Runner is an example of overcoming adversity. The films featuring Dylan O’Brien got transformations for its center set of three and figured out how to bring in some strong cash en route without incredibly estranging its fans en route. Insane, isn’t that so? It has an unexpected account in Hollywood in comparison to other YA variations we’ve examined, such as the Divergent series, which came barely shy of its decision in 2016. Or on the other hand the Percy Jackson movies, which was cancelled only two films into production and is currently set to be changed into a Disney+ TV show. However, the Maze Runner movies finished with more books on the racks from James Dashner. Why? 

The top rated tragic sci-fi books that started in 2009 follows a gathering of young people left in a strange spot called the “Dale” encompassed by monstrous dividers and a lethal labyrinth as the solitary conceivable exit. We should discuss what went down with Maze Runner and why we presently can’t seem to find out about more movies from James Dashner’s reality: 

The number of Maze Runner Movies Have We Seen: 

The Maze Runner movies featuring Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Ki Hong Li and Thomas Brodie-Sangster started in 2014 with its underlying film and framed into a set of three for each book, including 2015’s The Scorch Trials and 2018’s The Death Cure. Each of the three movies were coordinated by Wes Ball and composed by T.S. Nowlin. The Fox films figured out how to essentially remain on time and convey to fans on a predictable premise except for the third film, which came out three years following the second. This was brought about by a 2016 mishap O’Brien endured on set when the entertainer was hit by a trick vehicle while shooting an activity set piece for The Death Cure. 

The mishap “broke the majority of the correct side” of Dylan O’Brien’s face as per the entertainer and naturally prompted a deferral for the film. After he recuperated from his wounds, O’Brien was resolved to complete the center series and they did! Generally speaking, the establishment made almost $1 billion at the overall film industry all together, with the main film making the most at $348 million against a creation financial plan of $34 million. The Scorch Trials made a touch less regardless of its higher $61 million spending plan with $312 million in box income and The Death Cure lost some force with its $288 million gross after a comparable spending plan to the subsequent film. 

Were There Plans More Maze Runner Movies? 

Although The Maze Runner trilogy did start and end on screen, there are two additional books in the Maze Runner book arrangement that still can’t seem to be adjusted: 2012’s The Kill Order and 2016’s The Fever Code. These books are prequels to the primary arrangement that start 13 years before the occasions of the first books. The prequel story extends the tragic world of The Maze Runner because it offers all the more firsthand knowledge with respect to the ‘why’ and ‘how’ the youngsters become stuck in the Glade, including a starting point story for Dylan O’Brien’s Thomas. Nonetheless, the creatives behind the Maze Runner movies needed to end things there with the 2018 finale. In screenwriter T.S. Nowlin’s words: 

We’ve really discussed the amount we would prefer not to do a fourth film. It’s uncommon to accomplish something spotless, that simply has a start, a center, and an end. I truly like the manner in which this film wraps things up and closes. It’s ideal to let the films sort of breathe out. 

It’s a bold and outstanding comment about an establishment as cherished as the Maze Runner movies, however hello, Star Wars abandoned three to nine. It’s conceivable that these prequels could reappear discussion once said breathe out occurs, yet it would require a ton of new cast to recount the narrative of before Maze Runner like The Hobbit movies did for Lord of the Rings almost 10 years after its set of three. 

Why We Haven’t Seen More Maze Runner Movies: 

Notwithstanding the Maze Runner filmmakers refusing to compromise on finishing the arrangement following The Death Cure, there are likewise various elements that probably went into the entryway for the Maze Runner series being shut after the 2018 end. Most importantly, even though Maze Runner kept similar movie producers and cast, it didn’t keep up its quality and numerous critical changes were produced using the source material as the establishment seethed on. With every spin-off, the establishment appeared to lose a portion of its crowd as opposed to venturing into something greater, and that could be an issue from a business point of view. 

Additionally, the Maze Runner franchise is created by Fox, which went through some critical changes following the delivery of The Death Cure in 2018. The company was procured by Disney in a significant arrangement, which may have retained or postponed plans to extend the establishment further if that was on the agenda for Fox, it may not be a need for Disney. Nonetheless, it implies that Disney might actually pivot and do a Maze Runner Disney+ arrangement or reboot the film establishment down the line like Percy Jackson is presently getting. 

Are There Any Plans For Future Maze Runner Movies? 

For the present, that is it for the Maze Runner movies. In any case, there are two books holding back to be adjusted if Hollywood chose to give the establishment another look. Back in 2015, the establishment’s writer James Dashner told Screen Rant about his considerations on his more current books being adjusted for the huge or little screen. In his words: 

That is a simple one to answer since I unquestionably trust so. It’s likely out of my hands, yet I would give anything for that to happen on the grounds that it would be loads of fun and it is amusing to see a portion of these entertainers get back to the world. Yet, we’ll see what Fox has coming up for this arrangement and this world. In this way, we’ll need to sit back and watch. 

The Kill Order and Fever Code are a lot more obscure augmentations to the Maze Runner franchise, considering it is about the sun based flares that hit Earth and assault humanity with sickness. The populace gets crazy from the prophetically catastrophic story. In Fever Code, the Glade starts to shape and a more youthful Thomas is investigated before his memory is cleaned for the occasions of The Maze Runner. 

Considering the genuine world is at present confronting a worldwide pandemic, this may not be the best plan to adjust directly out the entryway. Be that as it may, if the prequels were adjusted, it could even set up a revamp of the establishment (maybe as a network show?) down the line if Hollywood chose to make more Maze Runner movies.
