It is rumored that the 26-year-old actress will face a tough competition from Kim Basinger's character for the BDSM scenes.
"In addition to being a key figure from Christian's past, Elena is also a potential romantic foe for his current girlfriend, naïve heroine Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson)," claimed Access Hollywood.
