Fifty Shades of Grey star Jamie Dornan has been teasing fans with a photo of him in a retro hipster “tache”. The actor doesn’t say why he has grown the unusual handlebar moustache so fans have been left guessing.

His latest post shows he has shaved off the trademark close cut beard that he has been sporting all summer. Sitting with the family’s black dog Lenny he also has an uncharacteristic curly hairstyle and retro sunglasses.

Although known for looking a dish on the red carpet, 33-year-old, Cotswolds based actor has never been afraid to sport a new look on social media. He has even posted pictures of himself looking ridiculous while dressing up with his three young daughters in the past.

Weeks ago he was pictured clean faced in the trailer for the Netflix drama Heart of Stone which will be out next year.

But had clearly grown back the facial hair by the time he holidayed in Switzerland with wife, the film composer Amelia Warner. He was pictured on a mountain with a definite fuzz.

But even though off duty he clearly prefers the unshaven look, the new handlebar moustache took Fifty Shades fans by surprise. Die hard fans of smoothie Mr Grey were shocked by the latest change of image but 256,000 fans liked the new look so most seem to approve.

The only caption is Boys which seems to refer to him and the family dog, known as Lenny, and his casual outfit gives no clues to the reason either.

The 33-year-old Irish actor comes from a family of medics so he could have grown it to join the annual Movember event which raises awareness of male health issues by persuading men to grow a moustache every November.

But it could be a film role as well. Jamie is due to star in the Hercule Poirot film A Haunting in Venice, which was inspired by Christie’s 1969 novel, Hallowe’en Party. Early reports say director Sir Kenneth Branagh will reprise his role as the Belgian detective, created by Agatha Christie, after previously playing Poirot in 2017’s Murder On The Orient Express and 2022’s Death On The Nile.

Jamie’s role hasn’t been announced but it seems Poirot might have some competition in the famous moustache department when filming starts..

One fan had another theory. “The Jadotville stache is back, and we’re here for it” , they wrote referencing the 2016 film The Siege of Jadotville that he appeared in.

Jamie once revealed that he hates shaving. “I hate my face without a beard,” he told The Jonathan Ross Show in 2016 . “I swear to God I really hate it. I always think I look really young. I think when I’m clean shaven, I look like a thumb. My own ‘Jamie resting face’ is what I have an issue with.”

Dakota Johnson is suiting up for the Sony Universe of Marvel Characters.

The actor has been cast as Madame Web in the studio’s next standalone superhero movie. It would mark Sony’s first modern comic book adaptation to feature a female in the title role. Insiders close to the project stress that Johnson’s deal is not closed but confirm she is in talks to secure the role.

S.J. Clarkson, known for her work on Netflix’s darker Marvel series “Jessica Jones” and the MCU-set spinoff “The Defenders,” has been hired to direct the “Madame Web” film. Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the duo behind Jared Leto’s upcoming vampire chiller “Morbius,” will write the screenplay.

In the comics, Madame Web is key in the interconnected multiverse, a somewhat confusing concept that Sony, Disney and Warner Bros. have each separately started to tease in on-screen adventures. In effect, the mind-bending theory involves multiple versions of characters from different timelines that, in the case of Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” can intersect to varying degrees of chaos.

Web often appears as a side character in “Spider-Man” comics, where she is depicted as a blind, paralyzed elderly woman who has myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disorder requiring her to connect to a life support system resembling a spiderweb. The character was introduced in issue 210 of “The Amazing Spider-Man” comic series in 1980, where she’s a clairvoyant mutant whose abilities prove to be greatly beneficial to Spider-Man and his fellow arachnid allies, like Spider-Woman.

Since Johnson’s breakout role in “Fifty Shades of Grey,” she has cultivated an eclectic resume with roles in Luca Guadagnino’s supernatural horror remake “Suspiria,” the romantic comedy “How to Be Single,” the feel-good film “Peanut Butter Falcon” and director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s psychological drama “The Lost Daughter.” Johnson recently received acclaim for two Sundance films, director Cooper Raiff’s sweet coming-of-age story “Cha Cha Real Smooth” and the romantic comedy “Am I OK?”

“Madame Web” is one of several Spider-Man related spinoffs in development as Sony spawns its own separate and expanding film franchise, one that is anchored by baddies like Venom, Morbius and Kraven. It’s not (at least, at this point) related to Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, in which Tom Holland plays the popular web-slinger. He last appeared in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” a box-office behemoth that has grossed $1.74 billion globally.
