Pattinson was strongly linked to the part of Christian, after James attended a party at the Twilight actor's home back in June.
As well as Rob, the likes of Ryan Gosling, Garrett Hedlund and Ian Somerhalder were all rumoured to be on the shortlist to portray the dominating businessman.
Dakota Johnson has also been confirmed to play Christian's love interest Anastasia Steele, while Sam Taylor-Johnson will direct the flick.
Fifty Shades of Grey is due for release in the US on August 1, 2014.
