Dylan O'Brien may have escaped a giant maze filled with biomechanical murder machines, but the trouble for his "Maze Runner" series character Thomas is only just beginning. Entertainment Weekly just revealed some first-look images from the upcoming "Maze Runner" sequel "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials," and let's just say things won't be cooling down for the Gladers any time soon.

The first image from the film shows Thomas frantically crawling across a desert landscape, which we assume is where those mysterious WICKED folks took him at the end of the first movie. "Scorch Trials" -- which is based off of James Dashner's book of the same title but will deviate slightly from the material -- will pick up right where "Maze Runner" left off, and judging by EW's other two pics, which show a gaggle of Gladers being hung upside-down and O'Brien holding a giant gun respectively, the action will (once again) dominate the film from start to finish.

You can see more pics from "Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials" at EW.com, and be sure to check out the movie when it premieres on September 18.
