Irish actor Jamie Dornan, who is now enjoying his new found international fame following the success of Fifty Shades of Grey, is believed to be reprising his role, contrary to the news that recently surfaced that he won't be appearing on its sequel.

Rumors about Dornan's decision surprised fans after an Australian magazine reported that the 32-year-old actor has dropped out from the planned sequels because his wife Amelia Warner was said to not be too happy of his role as the sadomasochist and dominant male character.

Dornan plays the role of the emotionally distant billionaire in the novel that has been adapted into the successful movie.

The first novel, written by British novelist E.L. Shades was so successful that it was decided to make it into a trilogy. The succeeding titles were: Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.

The rumor of Dornan's decision not to go back on set immediately spread like wildfire online, triggering heated Twitter responses from fans, Ace Showbiz can reveal.

Dornan's reps were eventually quick to respond to the rumors, immediately denying the false claim. In a statement in Gossip Cop, his rep said: "All press reports are pure conjecture as the studio has not committed to a sequel as yet."

Likewise, Focus Features, film company that helmed the movie, also statement that Dornan has not made any statement that he's quitting the film. Nevertheless, Dornan and Focus Features have not yet discussed any.

Plans of follow-up sequel have already came out after the whopping commercial success of Fifty Shades of Grey. The film has now earned over US$400 million in global sales, making Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson international celebrities.
