The Scorch Trial book, however, ends with Thomas being separated from his friends after trying to find the cure, when he is imprisoned in a white room. The Death Cure book picks up from this when, 26 days later, Thomas is finally freed.
What is the time skip between scorch trials and death cure?
In a recent interview, franchise director Wes Ball revealed that Maze Runner: The Death Cure will actually pick up one year after the events of The Scorch Trials, which is quite a departure from the source material.
Not to mention the run-time that is completely unnecessary. Like 'Mad Max' the plot is thin. They escape, they run, they escape again, run some more, a little bit more escaping, they run again, they escape once more, and end the film with.... we have to go back and 'finish' this. Finish what?!
The series consists of The Maze Runner (2009), The Scorch Trials (2010) and The Death Cure (2011), as well as two prequel novels, The Kill Order (2012) and The Fever Code (2016), a novella titled Crank Palace (2020), and a companion book titled The Maze Runner Files (2013).
We know for sure that it's the future, and it could be decades or even centuries from now. However, according to The Maze Runner Files book, there are confidential files (within the Maze Runner universe) which are dated to the years 220, 219, 232.
Ki Hong Lee plays the 17-year-old, Minho, in The Maze Runner, and he was 26 when filming was completed in 2013. Like Aml Ameen, Lee is substantially older than the character he plays, but he manages to look young enough that it isn't jarring.
How long has Newt been in the glade? In the books he got sent to the Glade in the first group and spent two years there. In the movies he got sent to the Glade pretty early on (I think he was the second person there, after Alby), so he would have been there for three years.
Since The Maze Runner's set in the future, James Dashner felt it'd be more realistic to include names of influential figures that don't yet exist. The person Minho's named after is the likes of a future scientist. Overall though, Dashner was inspired to name the character after his niece's husband who's called Minho.
The Kill Order is a 2012 young adult dystopian science fiction novel written by American author James Dashner and published on August 14, 2012, by Delacorte Press. It is the first prequel book in The Maze Runner series and the fourth installment overall.
Thomas and Teresa share several kisses during the story. Brenda kisses Thomas' cheek. She pulls his head toward her to try and kiss his lips, but he pulls away. Aris and Teresa share several kisses, which spark Thomas' jealousy.
Later, Teresa comes to Thomas with Aris. Teresa and Aris kiss passionately and tell him that they've known each other longer than Thomas may have thought, and she explains that she has been manipulating Thomas all along.
Somewhere throughout the Gladers' trials, Teresa was telepathically told Aris that WICKED wanted them to make Thomas feel utterly betrayed, and that unless they did it, Thomas would be killed by them.
Newt gets scratched by one of the Cranks on his right forearm, consequently infecting him with the virus. How does Newt get infected on Maze Runner? So of the guys who were originally in the Glade in the books, most of them were already immune to the Flare.
It is eventually revealed that Thomas' blood contains a unique enzyme that can destroy the Flare virus [2]. In "The Death Cure" film, Teresa, one of the main characters, uses a small fragment of Thomas' blood and observes under a microscope that it snaps a dark-red vein with the virus in it, effectively killing it [2].
In short: Thomas's blood became the cure precisely because of all the Trials he faced. To understand this, pay attention to: The Death Cure movie. As it turns out the Trials did work and there was, in fact, a cure for the Flare (in movieverse, anyway), but it hadn't always been there, it had to be achieved.
Newt is approached by Thomas on a rooftop and shows him his infection, as shown by the black veins on his right arm. Newt explains that the reason WCKD put him in the Maze was because they wanted to tell the difference between immunes like Thomas and people like himself.
Gally got through the same way the other Gladers got through. Gally used the small mechanical device that was found in the dead Griever body. We know this because when Gally appears at the end he is holding it.
Brodie-Sangster added, “He (Ki-hong) and his wife is a beautiful couple.” Shortly after the success of the first movie installment “The Maze Runner” in 2014, Lee married his longtime sweetheart Choi Ha-young in March.
Now Newt is known as "The Glue." You can guess what this means: Newt is the guy who holds all of the Gladers together. He's the more logical version of Minho: while Minho would run into a group of angry Cranks without any weapons, Newt would probably stay back and ponder the situation.
Gally is alive in Maze Runner: The Death Cure because he was rescued and saved after The Maze Runner's ending. Although the Gladers thought that he was already dead, Gally confirms that they left him to die. It was after they left that another group stumbled across the maze and laboratory and found Gally still inside.
Kathryn In the book it answers that. It has like 1 sentence explaining that there was a group of boys sent up at the start then 1 a month after that. In the movie however it changed that and said alby was the first and that he had to spend a month alone in the glade. Hope this explains it.
However, none of the Maze Runner movies ever explain why WCKD sent Teresa into the Maze. It seems improbable that she betrayed WCKD since she defends them fervently. In Maze Runner 4, the story could provide clarity about whether Teresa went into the Maze voluntarily and the purpose of her presence.
