The trailer for Fifty Shades 4 (2025) opens with a serene and intimate scene: a quiet coastal villa perched on a hill overlooking the ocean. The camera slowly pans toward the horizon as soft piano music plays, creating a romantic yet somber tone. Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) stands alone on a balcony, her hair blowing in the wind. She stares out at the ocean; her face is a mixture of reflection and disquiet. A voiceover from Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) continues: “I thought we’d found peace… but some desires never fade.”

The screen shows a flashback of their lives in recent years: scenes of their young children playing, moments of passionate connection between Anastasia and Christian, and fleeting glimpses of happiness. But as the trailer progresses, the tension mounts. A sudden change in the music indicates that their story is far from over. We see Christian and Ana sitting opposite each other in a dimly lit room, their expressions tense. “There’s something you’re not telling me, Christian,” Ana says, her voice thick with suspicion. Christian looks away, visibly confused, implying that the secrets of their past are coming back to haunt them.
