"Fifty Shades Darker" is reportedly thinking of replacing Jamie Dornan due to his lack of chemistry with Dakota Johnson.
According to Inquisitr, the producers of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" sequel are not very pleased with what they have seen so far between Dornan and Johnson.
The onscreen couple have been filming in Vancouver for the past couple of weeks now, and the producers and directors couldn't help but notice how disconnected they have become.
According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, the director of the film is also a bit worried after the cast members and "Fifty Shades of Grey" became dubbed as the worst actors and worst films of 2015.
Other than this, there are also some issues with how Johnson has been giving life to her character Anastasia Steele.
"Dakota isn't coming off sexy enough. Anastasia Steele needs to be naïve, not a dishrag," the publication noted.
Meanwhile, the publication also had some strong words for Dornan.
"Now, word has it that Sam Taylor-Johnson's replacement was also fed up of the lackluster performance of Jamie Dornan that it came to a point when he almost gave up on the 33-year-old actor. We're not entire sure if this was just Foley's way to motivate the actor, but somehow it proved to be helpful."
As of late, there is still no confirmation about these claims, and as to whether or not Dornan was almost on the brink of being replaced.
In other news, "Fifty Shades Darker" will see new characters, namely, Mrs. Robinson, Leila Williams and Jack Hyde. All three will be playing a huge part in the lives of Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.
Mrs. Robinson will be portrayed by Kim Basinger, Australian actress Bella Heathcote will play the role of Leila and Eric Johnson will play the role of Jack Hyde.
Mrs. Robinson was described in the books written by E.L. James as the woman who introduced Christian into the world of BDSM.
Leila, on the other hand, is Christian's ex-girlfriend and former submissive, and Jack is Christian's biggest nemesis.
"Fifty Shades Darker" is slated to hit theaters in the United States on Feb. 10, 2017.
