Alex wasn’t the only one encountering painful situations off-camera. “I just cut my finger getting out of my trailer. I closed the door and sliced my finger open,” Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Newt) said. Though he, like Kaya, managed to avoid injury on The Maze Runner, the Scorch has been getting to him. But as any good runner knows, the secret to injury prevention is a lot of preparation – and stretching. “We have to make sure we stretch out. Running on very uneven ground and in sand is always hard, and when you’re doing it take after take, you do end up getting a bit sore in the morning,” he said. “But as long as you stretch out, it’s okay.”
