In the world of the Scorch, you have to be smart and skepticism is probably not a bad thing. One of his possible weaknesses is that he’s headstrong and skeptical. I find that another strength of his is hope for finding that republic, the Right Arm, where people can live together and have respect and compassion for one another. He decides he is going to do it his own way, a way that has kept his people safe for a period of time. Then again, it’s hard to say that’s a weakness because ultimately it can help her in the future.Įsposito: One of Jorge’s strengths is that he is a warrior and a rebel, which is part of the story that I can really relate to. I think she’s more afraid, but has reasoning for that after experiencing such devastation and loss. But you also see the more vulnerable side to her. Continuing on in this movie, you see that. She’s on this journey with them so quickly and that’s something that really struck me as something brave about her.

She helps them survive and she helps them escape. She arrives in the Glade and she’s there for less than a day before she trusts this group of people. Scodelario: I think Teresa is very brave, very strong, and very caring.

That’s what makes the movie so compelling. He is flawed and he is human, he feels fear and he feels doubt.

I know it’s hard to call it a weakness, but it’s just a human flaw, and that’s what I love about him so much. He can get very narrow-minded and about what he believes and strong headed about his plan of action. He provides the hope and takes pride in that, but I think that can also be what his weakness is. O’Brien: I think Thomas is strong and smart and courageous and just believes so hard. I think her overall capacity for change is her biggest strength. You have to be pretty clever and pretty savvy to do that. First of all, she was just thrown out into the Scorch, left to fend for herself until she met Jorge. Salazar: My character is very good at compartmentalizing. What do you think are some strengths and weaknesses that your characters posses in the film? I get this insane feeling of wanting to complete a job and no one ever watching it, which makes no sense because the reason we do these movies is so that people enjoy them, but for some reason in my mind it petrifies me. I sacrifice a bit of myself to that character, and I love it, but then I am so protective of it that I’m terrified of anyone else seeing it or judging it or misunderstanding it. When I work, its something that I lose a bit of my soul to. How does it feel to watch the completed product of your work? Managing editor Brooke Ellis joined area student journalists and actors from Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, and participated in a roundtable interview at the Mandarin Oriental in Brickell Key, on Monday, Sept. Salazar: The biggest travesty to fans is creating a structure that is definitely not in the book and having to add even more to substantiate splitting one book into two parts. Our director, Wes, will do all three of the films and it’ll be a straight up, old school, Sci-Fi trilogy, which is what we all want to do. O’Brien: I love it, because I hate the idea of trying to milk the storyline it for all its worth. The Maze Runner is going its own way and is not doing this. Many young adult franchises are splitting the last film in to two parts, like The Hunger Games and Divergent. He’s just a straightforward guy who knows there’s a better world out there that he wants to be a part of helping find.Bro I just wanted to make Jorge into a likable guy, but one who you’re not completely unafraid of, mostly because everything in this film is kind of earned-trust is earned, loyalty is earned, and relationships are earned. Once in a while I like being the nice guy who sweeps in and saves the day. I was anxious to see if I could pull off a character other than a villain, having done it only a few times in the last few years. Having played an antagonist in many prior films, and do you find yourself to prefer villainous or heroic roles?Įsposito: I love every role that I play equally if I can put my heart and soul into it. The Raider Voice had an opportunity to sit down with cast members Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Giancarlo Esposito, and Rosa Salaza r prior to the premiere. Fans flocked to theaters for the release of Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, which grossed over $30 million in its opening weekend.
