Although Fifty Shades of Grey was a huge success in the box office, there are definitely some areas that the franchise could improve. With that in mind, producers are ready to up their game in the sequel, Fifty Shades Darker , which will reportedly feature a number of new and exciting elements.
While the first film featured plenty of sex scenes , they all seemed to focus more on style and glamour and less in the realities of real lovemaking. However, the sequel is expected to see a change in that department with longer sex scenes that are set to show a little more skin as well. Of course, this means that Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan will be showing off a little more, which should go over well with fans.
Additionally, Fifty Shades Darker will also see the introduction of a few new characters that will undoubtedly spice things up. Although the first movie centered on the relationship between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey , these new characters are sure to expand the storyline and add an extra bit of intrigue to the erotic drama.
For his part, Jack Hyde will be introduced as Anastasia’s new boss. Hyde, who runs the publishing company Anastasia works for, immediately takes a liking to his new employee and tries his best to get with her. Although he fails in his attempts in the book, there is a chance that things will be different in the movie.
Additionally, Hyde is set to be the main villain in Fifty Shades Darker , as Christian doesn’t react too well to his pursuit of Ana.
Meanwhile, Elena Lincoln, also known as Mrs. Robinson , will also be introduced in the sequel. Mrs. Robinson is the one who taught Christian everything he knows about BDSM. With that in mind, their history together is certain to play a large part in the movie.
Lastly, the character of Leila Williams is also set to make an appearance in the movie. Williams is an old flame of Christian’s and was his former submissive partner.
Although the studio has yet to announce who has been cast to play these new roles, it has been rumored that Tom Hiddleston might be up for the role of Hyde. At the same time, Cara Delevingne has been rumored to be playing Leila, while either Katie Holmes, Charlize Theron, or Sandra Bullock might step into the part of Mrs. Robinson.
Fifty Shades Darker will premiere in theaters on February 10, 2017.
