There are swirling rumors that Ian Somerhalder will take the place of Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey in the upcoming movies "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed." Of course, this is quite impossible as "The Fall" actor and Dakota Johnson are now done filming the said films. Hence, it is strongly believed that "The Vampire Diaries" star might lead the movie adaptation of E.L. James fourth "Fifty Shades" book, "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey As Told by Christian."
It has been known that Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson are only obligated to film "Fifty Shades" trilogy, which are "Fifty Shades of Grey," "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed." Now that they are up to the last two movies, will the husband of Amelia Warner continue portraying Christian Grey if "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey As Told by Christian" will be made into a film? Most likely not, thus the name of Ian Somerhalder emerges.
Jamie Dornan expressed before that he wants to leave the character of Christian Grey in the "Fifty Shades" trilogy and just finish his contract, MoviePilot reported. That's why; this might be the last time fans will see him as the BDSM baddie in "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed." Hence, the crown of playing the billionaire entrepreneur in "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey As Told by Christian" might be passed to Ian Somerhalder.
Ian Somerhalder is the top picked for replacing Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey in the movie adaptation of "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey As Told by Christian." Now that "The Vampire Diaries" will soon come to a close, the husband of Nikki Reed will now have a lot of time to make a movie. Also, the "Lost" actor claimed that he wants to focus on doing films after his long-running TV series ends.
Meanwhile, it looks like Jamie Dornan has an inkling that Ian Somerhalder will take the role of Christian Grey in "Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey As Told by Christian." In an interview with Jimmy Kennel as he was promoting "Fifty Shades Darker," the on-screen partner of Dakota Johnson sent a message to the 37-year-old model saying, good luck and he knows "he'll be great" portraying the said character.
