The pursuit of a Christian Grey for E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey movie continues, as young actors Billy Magnussen and Luke Bracey have reportedly been called in to try out for the groundbreaking role.

On Oct. 17, Daily Mail stated that producers are doubling their efforts in their search for Charlie Hunnam's replacement, as the Sons of Anarchy standout recently dropped out of the role.

While the raunchy flick will involve its leads partaking in a plethora of sex scenes, both Magnussen and Bracey are no strangers to such tasks.

Magnussen, 28, had to strip down to his undies for a part in the Broadway play Vanya And Sonia And Masha And Spike, which got him a Tony nomination, and is also known for his Cobra role in G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Bracey, 28, got his big break as a star in the soap opera Home And Away as a teen, and also showed off his well-defined abs in 2011's Monte Carlo.

Fifty Shades of Grey is scheduled to launch in theaters on Aug. 1, 2014. Only time will truly indicate just how the casting process will ultimately unfold. The project is set to start filming on Nov. 1. Be sure to check back for more details.

Magnussen can be viewed below in a recent video interview.
