A Twentieth Century Fox representative confirmed O’Brien’s injury to The Wrap. Since he’s the star of the film franchise, the movie’s production will be permanently halted until O’Brien can return to set.
“Dylan O’Brien was injured while filming Maze Runner: The Death Cure,” the Fox spokesperson said. “He was immediately transferred to a local hospital for observation and treatment. Production on the film will be shut down while he recovers. Our thoughts go out to Dylan for a full and speedy recovery.”
Worksafe BC officers said they are on-site at the film set in Cache Creek gathering information on the incident.
