Krysten Ritter is the latest contender who is reported gunning for the lead role in the movie adaptation of E.L. James' "Fifty Shades Of Grey."

With the casting for the movie adaptation of E.L. James' "Fifty Shades Of Grey" being trending news for months now, another actress seems to have joined the list of contenders for the role of Anastasia Steele in the film. Now E! Online reports that Krysten Ritter is the latest addition to this list.

What added fuel to the fire was the fact that Ritter retweeted a tweet from a "Fifty Shades of Grey" fan club account that suggested she is up for the role and then later replied to the tweet saying, "Thanks! i would be down. ;) RT@JustMe_Toni: @50shadesclub between the two it should 100% be @Krystenritter."

Meanwhile on the other side of the casting, "Vampire Diaries" actor Ian Somerhalder, who has been a top contender for the role of Christian Grey in the film may have some extra thinking to do if he gets considered for the role. According to a recent report by Celeb Dirty Laundry, "Vampire Diaries" co-star and real life girlfriend Nina Dobrev is not very keen on her boyfriend to star if the film if he is casted opposite Lucy Hale who is also another potential actress to play the lead role in the film.

According to the report, Dobrev fears that Hale may steal Somerhalder away from her if they get close during the shooting of the film as Hale is the kind of girl Somerhalder is usually attracted to. Also, as the script would demand, Dobrev is not very keen on the large number of sex scenes between the leading pair.

Meanwhile, a report from Enstarz on Jan. 2 suggest that Chris Hemsworth of "The Avengers" has recently risen in popularity among fan polls for the lead role in the film as well.
