‘Fifty Shades Darker’ Movie News Update: Cara Delevingne, Charlize Theron Confirmed?
The cast for "Fifty Shades Darker" is slowly being filled one by one. Several reports are claiming that supermodel Cara Delevingne and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron are indeed joining the franchise.
Delevingne, who has been making her way into the acting world after modeling for a couple of years, will reportedly play Leila Williams, the former submissive of billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). Williams' character will come in between Grey and Anastasia Steele's (Dakota Johnson) relationship in the second movie.
Theron's character Elena Lincoln, aka Mrs. Robinson, will be another hurdle for Steele, who has to make a decision on whether or not she wants to be Grey's submissive. Mrs. Robinson was Grey's dominant when he was just a teenager.
In the first movie, "Fifty Shades of Grey," Grey introduces Steele, a naïve college graduate, to the world of BDSM. Steele initially tries it out because she has feelings for Grey. However, at the end of the first movie, Steele ultimately chooses to leave Grey.
Venture Capital Post is also confirming that Man of Steel's Henry Cavill has landed the role as Jack Hyde, who is Steele's new boss. In the books, Hyde is instantly attracted to Steele. Hyde is also very jealous of Grey.
"Fifty Shades Darker" is scheduled to be released on Valentine's Day in 2017. The final movie in the trilogy, "Fifty Shades Freed," will come out on Valentine's Day in 2018.
In other "Fifty Shades" news, author E.L. James announced on Monday, June 1 that she will be releasing "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian," on June 18.
