Rita Ora would like to return to the 'Fifty Shades' franchise.
The 24-year-old singer-songwriter made a cameo appearance as Mia Grey in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' earlier this year and has revealed she is open to returning for the next two movies in the series, explaining that her on-screen character is set to evolve.
Rita told ITV's 'Lorraine': "I'm a massive fan of the books and my character, Mia Grey, she very much evolves in [books] two and three slowly but surely. So if they do ask me [to be in the film], of course I'll be there."
Rita's confession comes shortly after E.L. James - the author of the 'Fifty Shades' novels - revealed she has written a new romance novel and is halfway through another.
The best-selling author admitted she's currently working on some new love-inspired material, but doesn't know when it'll be published.
Speaking during a Twitter Q&A with fans in June, the 52-year-old writer was asked whether she plans to pen another novel, to which she replied: "I've written a new book and am halfway through another. Both romances. Not sure when I will finish them."

Jennifer Lawrence could be the key to a 'Sweet Valley High' movie.
Screenwriter Diablo Cody has been attached to a potential movie for some time, but has suggested the inclusion of the Oscar-winning actress is what's needed to ensure the much-discussed film gets made.
Asked about the prospect of the movie - based on the novel series about twins Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield - coming to fruition, Diablo said: "You always need that wild-card element who actually gets things moving. Maybe if Jennifer Lawrence said tomorrow that she wants to play Elizabeth and Jessica, the movie gets made."
And asked whether she was happy for her plea to be made public, the screenwriter told Vulture: "Please. Jennifer Lawrence, you can get me an automatic green-light for Sweet Valley High. Let's do this!"
Diablo insisted that despite her best efforts, it's proven to be incredibly tough to get the movie off the ground.
She explained: "I get asked about 'Sweet Valley High' more than anything else, and it's interesting that a project that didn't go forward would get that many questions.
"That shows there's a huge appetite out there for a 'Sweet Valley High' movie. I just can't get the f**king thing made!"

Susan Boyle is taking acting lessons.
The 54-year-old singer enrolled on a four-day masterclass in June with acclaimed acting coach Bernard Hiller as she bids to make a cameo appearance in a movie about her own life.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "In June I went to a course run by a fantastic man called Bernard Hiller. He was brilliant. It was a masterclass in acting that was based in London for four days.
"He's worked with some of the best people in Hollywood and he taught us how to resolve performance nerves and self discovery as well as inside-outside acting and how to be public with private emotions. It was brilliant and it's really helped with my performance on stage as well."
Susan also revealed her excitement at seeing her life transformed into a movie.
She said: "I think it would be fun to have me in the various crowd scenes - almost like a Where's Wally? See how many times you can spot the real Susan in the film!
"In all seriousness, I'm very excited about this project. The script is great and the team behind it are brilliant."

Bill Murray is to star in 'Ghostbusters 3'.
The 64-year-old actor - who starred in the two earlier movies in the franchise, in 1984 and 1989 - is set to appear in the eagerly-awaited Paul Feig-directed reboot, having been spotted by The Hollywood Reporter on the set of the new movie.
Bill had previously distanced himself from the reboot, telling chat show host David Letterman earlier this year that his reluctance was linked to the second 'Ghostbusters' movie being less well received than the original.
However, it appears the Hollywood icon has backtracked and is set to star alongside Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones and Chris Hemsworth in the movie, which is due out next year.
In June, meanwhile, Emma Stone admitted she declined the chance to appear in the film because it was too "big" a commitment.
The 26-year-old actress revealed that although she really liked the script, the timing wasn't quite right.
She said: "The script was really funny. It just didn't feel like the right time for me.
"A franchise is a big commitment - it's a whole thing. I think maybe I need a minute before I dive back into that water."

Robert Pattinson wishes he had a "bigger ego".
The 'Twilight' actor - who became a tween sensation overnight as vampire Edward Cullen - admitted he always felt like he needed to prove himself as a person and as a film star, which he thinks is the reason he is so "grounded", but could have helped him deal with things that happened around him, such as his acrimonious split from former co-star Kristen Stewart.
He said: "I've always had the feeling I need to prove myself: as an actor, a star, a person. That might be how I've managed to keep my feet on the ground. Although I've often wished I had a bigger ego - maybe it would have helped me cope with all the things around me."
Meanwhile, when the 29-year-old heartthrob - who is engaged to singer FKA Twigs - was asked if when he has children, would they struggle growing up in the spotlight and Robert was sure he will have offspring who are "totally cool and confident" and will think he is "a weird crotchety man".
The 'Life' actor told Germany's Jolie magazine: "I don't think so. I'm sure I'll have a child that's totally cool and confident. He or she will probably look at me every day and think to themselves: 'Why is this guy such a weird, crotchety man?'"

'American Pie' star Chris Klein has tied the knot.
The 36-year-old actor - who played Chris 'Oz' Ostreicher in the 90's comedy franchise - married travel agent, Laina Rose Thyfault on Sunday (09.08.15) after dating for four years.
The couple's nuptials were held at the Rainbow Ranch in Montana, U.S in the presence of 115 guests.
Wedding planner Jennifer Horsley confirmed the news and revealed how they wanted to "stay true to the nature of Montana" for their big day.
She told People magazine: "Laina and Chris wanted to stay true to the nature of Montana and chose native grasses, sage and flowers in a soft colour palette to reflect the beauty of Montana."
The Hollywood hunk - who was previously engaged to 'Batman Begins' actress Katie Holmes - first met Laina through a mutual friend and proposed to the blonde beauty in Venice Beach, California back in December 2014.
Meanwhile, the comic also has something else to shout about.
Chris will make his comeback on the big screen as he is set to star in a World War I film, 'Out of the Furnace', which is based on the adventures of a journey through the Arabian desert.

Jamie Bell is inspired by Andy Serkis.
The 29-year-old actor used motion capture to portray The Thing in 'Fantastic Four' and learned a lot about the technique from his 'Tintin' co-star, who most famously used it in 'Lord of the Rings' and 'King Kong'.
Jamie said: "I've worked with Andy Serkis a few times now, and seeing how he creates those characters is inspiring.
"When I did 'Tintin' I was asking a lot of questions.
"It's all about breaking through that wall of technology and getting through to people. You need to work closely with the visual effects people to make sure you have authorship of your performance.
"That can be blurry at times, but as long as you're in close contact, then you're fine."
Jamie also had his voice digitally altered because he and film bosses felt it would be "pretty silly" for him to change his tones himself.
He explained to Shortlist magazine: "We had a few conversations and we ultimately decided it would be pretty silly for me to put on a voice.
"You lose a sense of who the character was before. They've changed my voice in post-production - it's me but slightly warped."

Tilda Swinton swears by her "tandoori tan" to disguise herself.
The 54-year-old actress is usually known for her minimal makeup and androgynous hairstyles, but in her current role the star looks unrecognisable.
The British star has previously played dark and intense roles such as a fearful and anxious mother in 'We Need to Talk about Kevin', but now plays vacuous, vain men's magazine editor Dianna in Amy Schumer's, 'Trainwreck!' and says it was fake tan which shaped the character.
She told US OK! Magazine: "I wanted to make a sorta disguise for myself, and started to think 'If I had this tandoori tan ...' It just made me laugh. The tan was the beginning of it all. It all started in a bottle."
The transformation, not only in character, but also physically, is a far cry from Tilda's pale and interesting look and it sees the star in a shoulder length caramel wig with a orangey complexion.

Tom Cruise is a "film geek".
The 53-year-old actor adores working in London because he can film in movie studios steeped in history and his latest picture, 'Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation' is a tribute to the city.
He said: "I've loved London since the moment I first came here, when I shot 'Legend' in 1984 at Pinewood Studios.
"I'm such a film geek of going round the studios here with their history, I just love making movies here.
"I have so many friends in the amazing crews, incredibly technicians and artisans.
"London is a home away from home for me. And I think you'll see that in this film. I really wanted to show my thanks and show how beautiful the city is."
Tom was also a prankster on the set of the film, and particularly enjoyed targeting Simon Pegg.
Simon told HELLO! magazine: "He took to turning on my seat heater in Morocco when we were doing the car chase.
"I don't know how he had time to do that because he was driving really fast. He thought it was hilarious."
However, Simon insisted he felt incredibly safe shooting action scenes with Tom.
He added: "Oddly, I felt safer than I do with anybody. He drives with such assurance and such skill that you don't feel unsafe but, like being on a really good fairground ride, you scream anyway."
