Theron and Delevigne are likely to play the roles of Mrs. Robinson and Leila Williams, respectively, Australia Network News reported. If the rumors are true, then the actresses are set to join Dakota Johnson and Dornan, who will reprise their roles as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, respectively, in "Fifty Shades Darker."
Aside from reprising her role as Queen Ravenna in Cedric Nicolas-Troyan's "The Huntsman Winter's War," Theron is also set to appear in Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's thriller film "The Gray Man," Sean Penn's drama film "The Last Face," and David Leitch's thriller film "The Coldest City."

In September, "Divergent" star Theo James was also rumored to play the role of Jack Hyde. The actor was a substantial choice, alongside "The Vampire Diaries" actor Ian Somerhalder, to play the character.

Dornan also said in his previous interview that he was currently busy dodging fans of "Fifty Shades" on the street and filming Allan Cubitt's drama series "The Fall."
