As the Fifty Shades of Grey movie nears its production start date, its cast is looking more complete with Christian Grey's bodyguard being the latest role to be filled.

Max Martini will protect Christian Grey, played by Jamie Dornan, as his bodyguard, Jason Taylor, sources report.

With Martini, Fifty Shades of Grey gets the Pacific Rim influence they almost had with Charlie Hunnam. Martini, 43, played Herc Hansen in the 2013 film, but is also known for starring in other big films. Martini can be seen in 1998's Private Ryan and the 2013 Tom Hanks film Captain Phillips. The TV-savvyy may also recognize the actor from his appearances on ABC's "Revenge" and NBC's "Crisis."

Martini joins a cast that is finally looking solid after the departure of Hunnam as Christian Grey on Oct. 12. Dakota Johnson has gladly accepted the role of Anastasia Steele, the innocent, virgin college student who is not so innocent after meeting kinky businessman Christian Grey. Eloise Mumford will play Kate Kavanagh, Anastasia's roommate. "Pride and Prejudice's" Jennifer Ehle is Anastasia's mother. Meanwhile, Victor Rasuk has been cast as Jose, a photographer who dreams of making romantic Kodak moments with Anastasia, and Luke Grimes will play Elliot, Christian's brother.

Sam Taylor-Johnson will direct the Focus Features and Universal Pictures movie. The script was written by Kelly Marcel. Michael De Luca, Dana Brunetti and E.L. James, the author of the erotic novel form which the movie is based, will produce.

Filming for Fifty Shades of Grey begins on Dec 2. The film will be released just in time for Valentine's Day on Feb. 13, 2015.
