Fox has indefinitely delayed production on “The Maze Runner: The Death Cure” as star Dylan O’Brien needs more time to heal from his March 17 injuries after an on-set car accident.

“The resumption of principal photography on ‘Maze Runner: The Death Cure’ has been further delayed to allow Dylan O’Brien more time to fully recover from his injuries,” Fox said in a statement Friday. “We wish Dylan a speedy recovery and look forward to restarting production as soon as possible.”

Production on the film was initially scheduled to resume May 9, according to a production listing in Vancouver.

“His injuries are very serious and he needs more time to recover,” said O’Brien’s publicist Jennifer Allen.

The movie — the third in the Maze Runner trilogy — has been set for a Feb, 17, 2017, release date but it may have to be pushed back due to the production delay.

O’Brien was hit by a car and suffered multiple injuries on March 17 on the set in British Columbia. The 24-year-old actor was taken to a local hospital for observation and treatment following the accident.

Posted earlier, but yeah. Makes me sad

Just watched the movies for the first time and I really like them. I hope he's ok.

This is still pretty nuts. He must've gotten a major payout at least.
