The cast of "Fifty Shades Darker" turned out for the film's world premiere in Los Angeles on Thursday (February 2).

Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, known for playing Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, spoke to media about returning to their famous characters in the erotic romance series.

"It's a weird thing. I've never really revisited a project or a character before, so it's very interesting to have my personal growth and also Jamie's personal growth between projects and then we come back together and our lives are different," said Johnson, who wore a Valentino dress with a plunging neckline.

In the "Fifty Shades" sequel, Anastasia and Christian reconcile and start their relationship afresh. However, the couple are forced to confront Christian's inner demons and other people threatening to tear them apart.

"I think that's what truly drives people to the film - these people, Anastasia and Christian, just severely love each other and they let it happen and that is a beautiful thing to watch unfold," said Johnson on the story's appeal.

Meanwhile her co-star Dornan promised that fans would get to see more action on a bigger scale.

"I mean we pull out all the stops. If you're making a sequel to anything, I think there has to be some kind of advancement on the first, you have to go a bit bigger in a lot of areas and I don't think this film is any different. It just so happens that in the second book there's some big, sort of key events like the masquerade ball and Christian's birthday party and all these things that are sort of grandiose in their scale...and we got to film all of those," he said.

"Fifty Shades Darker" begins its global roll out from February 8.
