On the part of Christian, since he has already fallen for Ana, he finds it also difficult to inflict pain on her which is his challenge in the upcoming sequel, “Fifty Shades Darker.”
The movie shall also look into the backstory of Christian on how he developed the fetish for BDSM, which according to reports started when he was the submissive of Mrs. Robinson, to be played by veteran actress Kim Basinger. It was Mrs. Robinson who introduced Christian into the world of BDSM and it has since stuck to him.
Eventually, after parting ways with Mrs. Robinson, Christian becomes the submissive of Leila Williams, played by Bella Heathcote. When they broke up, he decided to bring Ana into his world as well. But unlike his two experiences, he fell in love with Ana, which makes the BDSM more of an obstacle rather than a process in making love.
Interestingly, the plotlines of “Fifty Shades Darker” shall also see Ana crossing paths with both Mrs. Robinson and Leila, who shall both attempt to drive a wedge in their relationship.
But considering that Christian and Ana will eventually tie the knot towards the latter part of the movie, it seems clear that the efforts of Mrs. Robinson and Leila shall prove futile no matter how ridiculous, albeit drastic, some of them are going to be.
