Despite the fact that the film adaptation of “The Maze Runner” hasn’t released in theaters yet, it appears that a sequel is already on the mind of the studio and director Wes Ball. He revealed his plans at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.

The Maze Runner is based on the post apocalyptic novel written by James Dashner. It follows Thomas (played by Dylan O’Brien in the film), who, along with his fellow abductees, must escape the eponymous maze they wake up in.

The novel has two sequels, “The Scorch Trials” and “The Death Cure.” If the first film is successful in the box office, Ball could turn the series into a film franchise. 20th Century Fox has already acquired the film rights to “The Scorch Trials” in a proactive move.

The Maze Runner is set to be released on September 19, 2014.
