The filming will take place until June, according to reports. Unlike most novel-based trilogies, "Maze Runner: Death Cure" won't be released in two parts. However, author James Dashner has written a prequel to the story, "The Kill Order," and is set to release another one titled "The Fever Code."

There is no news yet if the prequels will be adapted into films but the box office success of the first two installations, "The Maze Runner" and "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials," keep fans hopeful that they won't be seeing the end of Thomas and his friends yet.

The last of the trilogy is set to answer whether or not WICKED is really good. WICKED, which stands for World In Catastrophe: Killzone Experiment Department, has been responsible for isolating certain individuals known to be immune to The Flare.

There is an overlap between the novel and the previous movie. In the books, Thomas became allies with the Right Arm in the third installment while in the movies, the second installment ended with Thomas gathering what remains of the Right Arm to declare that he is going to fight back at WICKED.

A time jump will happen when "Maze Runner" returns on the big screen. Director Wes Balls revealed, "This next one will be cool because we're gonna cut maybe a year later," in an interview with Collider. He shared that it is straying away from many elements of the book adding, "It's gonna be a different kind of an engine, a different kind of genre almost and a different sort of color palette and terrain. It's gonna be cool. It's gonna be very, very cool I think."

Moviegoers are going to find out how cool the changes are when it premieres in February 2017.
