At the start of Fifty Shades Darker, the sequel to 2015's Fifty Shades of Grey, we find our heroine, Anastasia Steele, (Dakota Johnson), working as an assistant at a publishing company for the seemingly great Jack (Eric Johnson). Well, to Anastasia he's seemingly great, everyone in the audience will know that there's a villain lurking underneath that nice exterior. There has to be – Jack's last name is Hyde (as in Dr. Jekyll and Mr.) and Fifty Shades Darker is not a subtle movie.
