This would have changed the franchise.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Maze Runner movies almost did not star Dylan O'Brien as Thomas, as his casting was originally rejected for a rather weird reason. Fox launched the young adult movie franchise based on James Dashner's novels of the same name in 2014.
Dylan O'Brien starred as Thomas in all three Maze Runner movies, making them one of his most recognizable roles to date. Although he was previously known for Teen Wolf before headlining the action franchise, Maze Runner's success brought even more opportunities to play pivotal roles in big movies, such as Deepwater Horizon, American Assassin, and Love and Monsters.
Why Maze Runner’s Director Didn’t Want To Cast Dylan O’Brien As difficult as it might be for some to imagine anyone else playing Thomas in the Maze Runner movies, Dylan O'Brien's casting was originally rejected by director Wes Ball. The director and studio cast a wide net to find the right actor to play Thomas and lead the potential franchise. Dylan O'Brien was one of the early actors who auditioned for the role, but Ball was not convinced that he could play the role.
At the time that the Maze Runner movies were casting Thomas, Dylan O'Brien was still in the process of playing Stiles Stilinski on Teen Wolf. Ball admits that he could not see past the hair to envision O'Brien as the vulnerable actor needed to play Thomas. The director needed an actor who could be vulnerable at first and evolve into a leader by the end to convincingly bring Thomas' role in Maze Runner to life.
How Dylan O’Brien Was Cast In The Maze Runner The story behind Dylan O'Brien being cast in The Maze Runner changed thanks to him working on Fox's 2013 comedy The Internship. Fox urged Ball to consider him as the lead of Maze Runner due to how much the studio liked his performance. It was only at this point that Ball realized Dylan O'Brien submitted an audition tape that he had overlooked.
