20th Century Fox said in a statement Friday that it looks forward to restarting production as soon as possible.

O’Brien stars in the dystopian sci-fi franchise based on author James Dashner’s novels. He was filming the third and final installment in the series in British Columbia when he was injured on a set in the town of Cache Creek.

A rep for the actor confirmed that the 24-year-old is recovering.

Fox did not comment on whether or not the delay would impact the film’s planned February 2017 release.
