‘Fifty Shades Darker’ ups the ante for Ana, Christian

Actress Dakota Johnson said that fans should expect "intricacy, suspense" in a new featurette for the upcoming film "Fifty Shades Darker."

The movie, adapted from the work of EL James, is the sequel to the 2015 hit "Fifty Shades of Gray." 

Johnson told fans that where the first movie focused on the awakening of her character Anastasia Steele, the sequel will be an exploration of the past and the motivations behind the unusual desires of Christina Gray (played by Jamie Dornan).

New faces are added to the story, further complicating Steele and Gray's relationship.

Eric Johnson, joining the cast to play Steele's boss Jack Hyde, said that the sexiness goes beyond the bedroom. New cast member Bella Heathcote said that she also loves the element of danger in the sequel. — AT, GMA News
