Director Wes Ball unraveled the major setting for The Scorch Trials, which will find an earth devastated by solar flares.
"[The massive solar flare that devastated the planet] has transformed the world into a desert with sand dunes that crawl and are swallowing the ruins of a lost world," he told Entertainment Weekly.
Ball went on to specify that the maze survivors will encounter creatures called "Cranks." The helmer explained that Cranks are not literally zombies but they do "fit into that category."
"They're not undead, but they are rage-filled," he went on to clarify.
Among the slew of images in the report features some of the characters hanged upside down. Another picture shows Thomas holding something which he probably uses to ward off the perpetrators.
