Nowlin, based on the 2011 novel The Death Cure written by James Dashner. It is the sequel to the 2015 film Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials and the third and final installment in the Maze Runner film series.
The Death Cure is a 2011 young adult dystopian science fiction novel written by American writer James Dashner and the third published in The Maze Runner series (the fifth and last in narrative order).
Due to its current development status, Maze Runner 4's release date is unknown. Disney has never given the film a date on its schedule, even though the studio has releases mapped out through 2027. This might mean that the earliest Maze Runner 4 could be released is 2028.
After the completion of the original trilogy, author James Dashner began work on a prequel series of books to The Maze Runner. The first of these prequels was titled The Kill Order and was released quickly after The Death Cure in August 2012.
The Ending Of Maze Runner: The Death Cure Explained
Did Thomas create the Maze?
The Creators named them after famous scientists. Then, the Creators put them in the Maze, a test without a solution, to see who would survive and continue trying to solve it against all odds. Thomas understands the code and knows the way out because he was one of the inventors of the Maze.
Instead, Thomas and Teresa fight back, but then Teresa dies in The Death Cure after helping Thomas flee with the Right Arm. At the end of The Maze Runner 3, it's revealed Thomas did escape with a vial of the cure. He keeps the vial with him as he and the fellow survivors begin their new life.
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.
Newt really did die in the Maze Runner Series. He died in the third book, The Death cure. There are five books in the series. The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trial, and The Death Cure being the main three.
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].

But now a virus is spreading. A virus that fills humans with murderous rage. They're convinced that there's a way to save those who are left—if they can stay alive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price.
The Death Cure is the third and last entry within the main The Maze Runner book series, and the conclusion of the primary storyline focused on Thomas and his challenges.
The Fever Code is a 2016 young adult dystopian science fiction novel written by American author James Dashner and published on September 27, 2016, by Delacorte Press. It is the second prequel book in The Maze Runner series and the fifth installment overall.
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.
Every a year a tweet goes viral with people only just finding out how young Keira Knightley was in Love Actually. At just 18 years old, she was only five years older than Thomas Brodie-Sangster (13) who plays schoolboy Sam in the film.
On May 3, 2024, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that a new Maze Runner movie is officially in the works. Disney is currently in talks with Jack Paglen, a screenwriter perhaps best known for his work on Transcendence, to pen the script for the upcoming movie.
Newt and Sonya both didn't know they were siblings, but Sonya probably knew later when she got her memories back. Sonya managed to get to the safe haven in The Death Cure. In the movies, we first see Sonya with group B as they were found by group A.
In the movies, it is implied that Thomas was immune to the Flare virus, which made him valuable to WCKD. Instead of killing him for his actions, WCKD decided to send him into the Maze as part of their experiment [1].
The disease eats away the minds of the afflicted until they turn into Cranks, zombie-like creatures that roam cities killing people until they're killed themselves. Fortunately for Thomas, he and most of his friends are Munies — immune to the Flare. That's why they've been put through the Maze and the Scorch trials.
Newt reveals 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. Thomas tells Newt that he can cure him.
It just needed to happen, in her mind. No biggie. In book 2, she couldn't stand the thought of Thomas feeling betrayed without warning, so she tries really hard to warn him. And then basically kills their friendship to save his life.
One of the final twists in The Maze Runner's ending is that Ava Paige is not dead after she faked her demise. This is revealed as Paige emerges at the head of a table with other members of WCKD claiming the incredible success of the Maze Trials, even noting her surprise with how many survivors there were.
The ending reveals that Thomas escapes with a vial of the cure for the Flare virus, but it becomes symbolic rather than crucial, as many survivors are already immune and no one is capable of harvesting the cure.
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.
