    50 Shades of Grey's new leads have been spotted for the first time since they were confirmed in the roles - but when will filming on the anticipated movie start?

    The new Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, Charlie Hunnam and Dakota Johnson, are back on set, with Charlie filming the newest season of Sons of Anarchy and Dakota starring in a modern-day film adaptation of William Shakespeare's Cymbeline.

    Charlie worked his bad-boy biker look as he stepped back into the shoes of motorcycle club President Jax Teller, and he looked hunky in his check button-down shirt, leather biker vest and jeans as he rode his Harley and smoked a cigarette on the Sons of Anarchy set.

    Dakota rocked a laidback look on set in a white oversized T-shirt, distressed denim cut-off shorts, brown Toms shoes and oversized black sunnies.

    The two actors were cast in the lead roles for the highly anticipated 50 Shades film because of their 'incredible chemistry' during auditions, according to producer Michael De Luca.

    With the movie, directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, due to hit theatres next summer and trailers anticipated to be out in the spring, the soon-to-be household names are due to be getting steamy on-set very soon. We can't wait to see that reputed 'chemistry' for ourselves.
