'Maze Runner' production postponed again due to Dylan O'Brien's injuries
Production on Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the third installment in the franchise, has been postponed again to allow actor Dylan O'Brien more time to recover from on-set injuries he sustained in March.

A representative for 20th Century Fox told ABC's Good Morning America Saturday, "We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and look forward to restarting production as soon as possible."
