In a recent interview with Glamour's El Pais, Johnson, who plays the role of Anastasia Steele said that the filming for "Fifty Shades Darker" will begin this coming January.
The actress also talked about what it was like being involved in the film and said that she is most grateful for the experience. According to her, there were times when she felt so exposed to the rest of the world because of her role in the film. However, this does not mean she regrets playing the role of Anastasia in the "Fifty Shades" franchise.
Meanwhile, Johnson also said that she is excited to play different roles in her upcoming films. According to her, doing so can prove that she is a versatile actress who should not be typecast as Anastasia.
