Theo James and Christian Cooke are also being considered, The Hollywood Reporter says, while the film has announced that writer Patrick Marber has been hired to refine the script.

Oscar-nominated Marber previously worked on Closer and Notes on a Scandal. He also wrote a short film, Love You More, which was directed by Fifty Shades' Sam Taylor-Johnson.
The movie adaptation of EL James's novel will still begin shooting next month, so long as the replacement for Hunnam is found in time.
Universal Pictures confirmed that the Sons of Anarchy actor would no longer be taking the role of Christian Grey on Sunday (October 13).
Hunnam allegedly pulled out after being "overwhelmed" by the hype surrounding the production, with Skarsgard and Dornan now leading the potential names to replace him.
Dakota Johnson is still attached to play Anastasia Steele.
Fifty Shades of Grey will be released next August.
