Featuring Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele and Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey, the second installment is likely to feature Dornan in completely frontal nude avatar. However, it is believed that Dornan's wife Amelia Warner is not very pleased with the concept of showing everything on the big screen. Speculations suggest that Dornan has been given certain monetary benefit for going nude.
It seems like the filmmakers are making all efforts not to dishearten fans with "Fifty Shades Darker." The makers have confirmed second part to be different from the earlier one. The second series showcases the return of Grey's earlier girl Leila Williams, enacted by Bella Heathcote. Heartbroken Williams will be seen troubling Anastasia Steele.
Sharing about the film, actress Marcia Gay Harden, told AlloCine via Melty that "Fifty Shades" second instalment will have more base of love story. She said, "Whereas in the first one they're just meeting each other, so it's more the intrigue of what is that life about, and the second one they fall in love. I think that that's where E.L. is going - that love can change people. And it can!" Harden portrays the role of Christian Grey's mother Grace Trevelyan Grey.
For the shooting of the third part "Fifty Shades Freed," it's rumored that Dornan will not be enacting the role of Christian Grey. Actor Zac Efron has been rumored to be roped in to play Grey's character in the film. The third episode of erotic drama franchise is expected to release in 2018.
