"Fifty Shades Darker," the sequel to hit film "Fifty Shades of Grey," is still in its incubation period, but as early as now, there have been a lot of speculations on what fans could expect from the movie. Lead star Dakota Johnson shares how she entered into an "emotional void" while promoting "Fifty Shades of Grey." Meanwhile, co-lead star Jamie Dornan, who plays the sexy Christian Grey, hints on bolder sex scenes coming to "Fifty Shades Darker."

Female First reports that Johnson, who plays Anastasia Steele in the movie, shares how she "blacked out" after promoting the first installment in E.L. James' trilogy. The news outlet said that the 26-year-old actress felt that she became "five different people" after "Fifty Shades Darker" was launched.

"It feels like a lifetime ago. I feel like I've been five different people since then," Johnson told the publication.

Johnson even shared that after the movie was released, she continued on working, where she eventually filled the emotional void. She said, "What did I do afterwards? I was working -- I kept going. The night I hosted 'Saturday Night Live' was the end of promoting the movie and then... I think I blacked it out. I went into an emotional void."

The young actress, who is the child of stars Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, previously talked to Elle Magazine, sharing her fearlessness while shooting sex scenes. "I don’t have any problem doing anything. The secret is I have no shame. I think there's a part of a woman that wants to be the thing that breaks a man down," said Johnson.

Hinting that bolder, sexier scenes are coming to the big screen for "Fifty Shades Darker," Johnson's co-lead star Dornan shares how excited he is in reprising the role of Christian Grey. “I’m looking forward to embodying Christian again -- and getting a chance to show more of him," Dornan told People.

Dornan is reportedly having an additional $1.5 million bonus on his talent fee for going full frontal. A source told Star magazine via Hollywood Life, “They’re offering Jamie a bonus of $1.5 million to do a full-frontal scene in 'Fifty Shades Darker.' That’s just a starting figure. Jamie would be crazy not to consider it.”

Also, in a 60-second interview with Bafta Guru, Dornan described his character, Christian Grey, as "heinous," saying, "He’s [Grey] just so heinous and I don’t have anything going on in my life that I can compare to what he does.”
