9 Actors Who Could Completely Ruin Their Upcoming Movies

7. Dylan O'Brien - Thomas (Maze Runner: The Death Cure)

I mean, Dylan O'Brien has already ruined the final film in the grating Maze Runner series thanks to his broken leg on the set of The Death Cure, flat-out halting production and leading to the film being pushed back to January 2018, two-and-a-half years after the previous film (which in modern moving-making is an eternity).

Maybe it's not fair to single out O'Brien given that this is obviously an accident, but the impact it will have is too big to be ignored; even when the film is released, it will have been majorly shifted to make his injury fit. Sure, the Maze Runner films were never that great - don't listen to your mate who said they were OK that one time, they're just a lazy trotting out of post-apocalyptic teen showdown cliché with the only distinction being this time the cast is mostly boys and that it never actually explains what the f*ck's going on - but this really tips it over the edge.

Overall things haven't gone all that well for the Hunger Games rip-offs; Maze Runner's going to turn up so muddled they may as well have not bothered, although Divergent's got it worse, with the box office failure of part three leading to the finale becoming a TV movie.
