Get ready for more steamy action as Universal announced on Thursday that "Fifty Shades Darker" is locked and loaded to make its way in cinemas on Feb. 10, 2017 with production to start next year.

The news broke out after The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Niall Leonard, author E.L James husband will pen the script for "Fifty Shades Darker."

Meanwhile director Sam-Taylor Johnson won't be returning to helm the second installment of the blockbuster movie "Fifty Shades of Grey," which was released this year, after having creative differences with author E.L James. There has been no official announcement yet from the studio as to who will replace her.

On a positive note, Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson will be back  to reprise their respective roles as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. The returning stars will once again put the rumor mill into frenzy as reports of a brewing romance between the two, when they filmed "Fifty Shades of Grey", will once again be ignited. With the return of "Fifty Shades Darker," which by the way, promises to amp up its eroticism, the reel couple will once again see themselves in the spotlight, as per Venture Capital Post.

However, according to Realty Today, a relationship with Johnson is impossible as Jaime Dornan dispelled the rumors when he disclosed to The Belfast Telegraph that he is excessively in love with his wife, Amelia Warner.

Dornan himself, confessed in his conversation with the publication, "I was smitten from the start, I really was. I'm more in love with her today than I was at the start, so no."

The actor also said that there is nothing that irritates him about his wife because Warner is "perfect."

With the successful turnout of "Fifty Shades of Grey" came the rumors that Warner was not supportive of her husband because she resented the sex scenes displayed in the film. Dornan was quick to defend his wife and stated that Warner was and is supporting his work on "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Fifty Shades Darker."

In other related news, The Latino Post reported that hunky actor Henry Cavill who plays the Man of Steel in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," will suit up as Anastasia's boss Jack Hyde.

Cavill will have no problem adding heat to "Fifty Shades Darker" since he has previously worked in the TV series "The Tudors" in which had him in some pretty hot and heavy scenes too.

With Henry Cavill on board, "Fifty Shades Darker" is sure to whet the fans' attention as to how his addition will affect the on-screen chemistry of Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson.
