The Australian magazine _NW_ had reported that the 32-year-old actor and model was walking away from future films because Dornan’s wife, Amelia Warner, was uncomfortable with the [racy sex scenes](http://www.people.com/article/fifty-shades-experts-injuries-bdsm) he shares with 25-year-old costar [Dakota Johnson](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:DakotaJohnson,00.html).

There have been no discussions on her returning. Taylor-Johnson reportedly often clashed with _Fifty Shades_ author [E L James](http://www.people.com/people/news/category/0,,personsTax:ELJames,00.html), who will once again have full control of future films. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/jamie-dornan-looking-forward-fifty-shades-sequel) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com)_._ _Read next:_ [_Watch Dakota Johnson Beg Her Mom to See ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’_](http://time.com/3722603/dakota-johnson-snl-promo/?xid=time%5Freadnext) ### Fifty Shades of Grey: TIME's Exclusive Portraits of the Cast and Director  Dakota Johnson (Anastasia “Ana” Steele) and Jamie Dornan (Christian Grey) photographed at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Jan. 13, 2015.
