It's beginning to look like Dylan O'Brien has no intentions of returning to the set of "Maze Runner: The Death Cure" anytime soon. The "Teen Wolf" Season 6 star is already expected to resume filming when "Maze Runner 3" restarts production next year. However, O'Brien seems to have other plans. The young actor is reportedly already shooting for his upcoming thriller "American Assassin" with Michael Keaton and Sanaa Lathan!
Dylan O'Brien Begins Filming 'American Assassin', Still No Plans Of Returning To 'Maze Runner 3'?
Fans were recently treated to a first glimpse at Dylan O'Brien as Mitch Rapp in "American Assassin". The image immediately got people excited over the fact that the "Teen Wolf" Season 6 star is feeling well enough to start working. However, some were also worried that O'Brien would begin filming for the adaptation of Vince Flynn's novels rather than resume work on "Maze Runner 3". Now it looks like the speculations have been confirmed.
According to Croydon Advisor, Dylan O'Brien has just been spotted on the set of "American Assassin". A fan site for the "Teen Wolf" Season 6 actor even shared an image of O'Brien while he was filming for the movie. So does this mean that O'Brien will be working on the thriller instead of "Maze Runner 3" first?

GamenGuide has previously reported about Dylan O'Brien possibly working on "American Assassin" ahead of "Maze Runner 3". The "Teen Wolf" Season 6 star is expected to begin working on the film before going back to the set of "The Death Cure". Hopefully, O'Brien will have no problem working on projects back to back up until the next year.
"Maze Runner 3" will resume production in early 2017 before its release date on January 12, 2018. "American Assassin" is also expected to premiere sometime in 2018.
