Jamie Dornan has been "Fifty Shades" freed, and now he's making a move on the action genre.
The handsome actor, best known for playing Christian Grey in the erotic blockbuster franchise that made him a household name, has a prominent role in "Robin Hood" alongside Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx and Ben Mendelsohn. The trailer landed online Thursday and teases Dornan's character, Will Scarlett, leading an uprising spurred by the exploits of the Hood, played by Egerton. Foxx plays Little John and Mendelsohn, of course, plays the villain -- the Sheriff of Nottingham. And fun fact: That's Bono's daughter, Eve Hewson, playing Maid Marian.

Robin Hood, Hawkeye, Green Arrow, Daryl Dixon...arrows are hot right now. And fortunately for our eyes, so are all the Hollywood stars that are shooting them!
