The Glader is known for having a close friendship with the protagonist of the series Thomas, and is a prominent leader within the group.
A bit sarcastic and witty, he goes though a powerful transformation throughout the Maze Runner series, proving to be a guiding figure in Thomas’ life. Their relationship complicates as the series progresses, but many fans anticipate watching Sangster portray this evolution on screen.

In other Maze Runner news released this week, Will Poulter who plays Gally in the film, spoke a bit about the role in a recent interview with Total Film. The young actor commented on his character, saying, “I play Gally, who is kind of at odds with the lead character Thomas, played by Dylan O’Brien, and I’m one of the older, more experienced boys within this dystopian setting, which is called The Glade,”
He goes on to say, “I initially am quite hostile towards him, but that slowly develops into a full-on hatred, and we’re at odds with each other pretty much throughout the whole thing. Playing a conflicted character was quite fun, because he has good and bad aspects to him.”
Poulter also took some time to share what the filming experience was like, saying, “That was really exciting for me. It was a really cool young cast of actors, Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Aml Ameen, Dexter Darden, Chris Sheffield, Alex Florez, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Kim Hong Lee, in fact the list goes on with amazing, amazing actors, so for me to be part of that was very, very cool.” He says fans should expect “a very exciting story about a group of young people in a dystopian setting who have to work together in order to escape, and it addresses a lot of things, and it’s ultimately a kind of adventure film … So it’s quite a cool little story.”
