As the final film in the Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy, Fifty Shades Freed (2018) is truly fitting as an extremely sweet ending. In this film, the audience is invited to find out how family life happens between Ana and Christian.
Not only that, the conflict shown is even more complicated and strengthens the relationship between the two people.
The success of Fifty Shades Freed (2018) in impressing the audience cannot be separated from the acting of the cast. It can only be said that the chemistry between Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan is unmatched. In addition, the presence of Eric Johnson as the villain in this film further increases the suspense of the story.
If we discuss these characters briefly, it feels incomplete. Therefore, this time Showpoiler will invite you to get acquainted with the cast of the movie Fifty Shades Freed (2018). You can read the full information below.
1. Ana/Anastasia Gray (Dakota Johnson)
Still playing the same character, Dakota Johnson is really close to Anastasia Grey. The reason is that thanks to this character, Dakota Johnson’s name is increasingly known to many people around the world.
However, the actress admitted that she was a little uncomfortable filming this movie, because she had to follow the script written by James Foley.
In fact, there are many different opinions about the plot and dialogue that would not work if shown on film. but all this chaos was eventually overcome by Dakota and the entire crew, until this movie was finally a success.
In addition, Dakota Johnson did not regret participating in this film project because the results were not disappointing.
Playing the role of Anastasia Grey, of course there are obvious differences with Anastasia Steele. Unlike before, Anastasia Grey looks much more confident. This woman can decide what she wants and take control of her life even though she is with Christian now.
This was proven when Ana questioned Christian’s seriousness when he found out he was pregnant.
This change in Anastasia’s personality is clearly one of the most interesting things about Fifty Shades Freed (2018). This shows that this movie not only shows the erotic aspect but also talks about the relationship between two people.
2. Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan)
Just like his co-star, the character Christian Gray is also very attached to Jamie Dornan.
As for the acting, there’s really no problem, even Jamie Dornan did a great job. His professionalism and skill in controlling his emotions are among the strengths of Christian Gray’s character.
But unfortunately, in Fifty Shades Freed (2018), Christian Gray is considered the weakest character. The reason is that there is no meaningful character development, because Christian’s character remains unknown.
The audience cannot understand what made Christian give up his addiction to BDSM sex.
Especially about the relationship Christian Gray is thinking about. When a man refuses to have children, it is unclear why or what caused this to happen.
Although Jamie Dornan’s performance is excellent, there is no significant character development. Maybe the Christian character should be the one who changes a lot and shows new things.
3. Jack Hyde (Eric Johnson)
Fifty Shades Freed (2018) would not be complete without the presence of Jack Hyde played by Eric Johnson.
Although he only appeared for a very short time, the character Jack Hyde is a well-developed character. The change in character from Fifty Shades Darker (2017) to Fifty Shades Freed (2018) looks very impressive.
In this film, Jack Hyde is shown to be a more ruthless and reckless character than before. Jack plans revenge on Anastasia and Christian Grey.
But what surprised the audience was that Eric Johnson has an extraordinary personality. His eyes and facial expression looked really scary.
4. Liz Morgan (Amy Price-Francis)
Another villain who unfortunately wasn’t developed well was Liz Morgan. Played by Amy Price-Francis, Liz Morgan is one of Anastasia’s co-workers in her office.
This woman was initially considered a quite caring character and repeatedly supported Anastasia to take on the position of editor.
However, behind the scenes, it turns out that Liz is secretly collaborating with Jack Hyde to trap Anastasia. But people will ask, why would Liz want to work for Jack?
It turned out that this woman was one of the victims of sexual harassment by Jack. Actually, this storyline feels less strong because there’s no backstory between the two.
5. Katherine Kavanagh (Eloise Mumford)
Kate or Katherine Kavanagh is Anastasia’s best friend. Unfortunately, in Fifty Shades Freed (2018) this character only appears briefly.
In fact, if Kate was given more screen time, perhaps this would help Ana’s character development. In this movie, Kate is the only person who knows Ana’s feelings.
On the other hand, Kate is worried about her relationship with her brother Christian. The reason is that Kate feels their relationship is stuck there and not serious. Although Elliot was planning a special proposal to Kate, this man was just too nervous.
6. Mia Grey (Rita Ora)
Rita Ora’s appearance in Fifty Shades Freed (2018) is what many fans have been waiting for. This top singer shows that he has outstanding talent in both singing and acting.
But in this movie, Mia only appears for a very short time, specifically at the end.
Somehow, Mia Gray will become Jack Hyde’s prisoner and be used as bait to attract Ana’s attention.
This very short plot is truly a pity, because the director seems to be wasting his acting talent. In fact, if it showed how Jack and Mia met, this would add more tension to the film.
7. Elena Lincoln (Kim Basinger)
Another character who appeared briefly was Kim Basinger, who played Elena Lincoln.
Although she only appeared as a guest, Elena’s presence in the relationship between Christian and Ana eventually caused quite a stir. But his change in attitude in this movie feels a bit odd because it doesn’t come with a proper plot.
8. Luke Sawyer (Brant Daugherty)
The last character in Fifty Shades Freed (2018) that we should not miss is Sawyer. Actually his character is very simple, he works as Anastasia’s personal bodyguard.
This man is very smart and always does his job very well. This mysterious character is played very well by Brant Daugherty.
These are some important characters in the movie Fifty Shades Freed (2018) that you need to know. In fact, no new characters were included in the final film of the trilogy.
Every character present in this film is clearly very well developed. Especially for a villain, the character of Jack Hyde really looks like an evil psychopath.
