The Maze Runner movie franchise is expected to expand with the confirmation of Maze Runner 4, and there are updates on where the movie's development stands. 20th Century Studios entered the young adult book adaptation surge of the 2010s by turning James Dashner's The Maze Runner book series into a major action franchise. The original trilogy starred Dylan O'Brien as Thomas and Kaya Scodelario as Teresa as they fight back against WCKD and create a cure for the Flare Virus. Maze Runner: The Death Cure's ending brought the trilogy to a close without assurances the franchise would continue.
