“WCKD is good”. fans Maze (Maze runner in the original version) clearly recognizes the mantra of the sci-fi military corporation whose actions are at the heart of the sci-fi franchise. A franchise that is about to be revived as a new film has been announced by 20th Century Studios.
This announcement comes after Wes Ball, director of the Labyrinth / Scorched Earth / The Deadly Cure trilogy, has just completed Planet of the Apes: The New Kingdom (in French cinemas this May 8).
