The actor is best know for playing the male protagonist in erotic thriller in "Fifty Shades of Grey", but in his new film, "Anthropoid", the 34-year-old stars as top-ranking Nazi official.
The part is a huge departure from Grey, and Dornan says he wants to continue to explore different characters, reported Contactmusic.
"I think as an actor, you do just want to mix it up... You don't want to be typecast," Dornan said on "Good Morning America".
"We (filmed instalments) two and three back to back. It was the right way to do it. It was good for everyone, in terms of keeping up with the energy.
"It's a slog, making movies. There's way harder ways to make a living, don't get me wrong, but a lot of energy goes into them, and if you can do two at once, I think it makes sense for everyone. It's hard in a way for people to re-motivate themselves and get back into character.
