After Angel Locsin made the painful decision to give up on the role due to health concerns, the hunt for the actress for the role began. Several names came up, such as Kathryn Bernardo, Jessy Mendiola, Yassi Pressman, and Nadine Lustre. Even Pia Wurtzbach was a favorite among fans, but the former Ms. Universe had to forego the opportunity.
The role of Darna propelled Locsin into becoming a household name when she was still in GMA. Soberano now joins the ranks of Rosa del Rosario, Vilma Santos, Anjanette Abayari, Nanette Medved, Angel Locsin, and others who breathed life into the role of the Filipina hero.
Now, the roles of Ding, Efren, and Valentina are now up for an exciting search.
Great choice!! Congrats, Ms. Liza! Looking forward! 👍👍👍👍
ReplyDeletePlease hit the gym asap Liza para toned ang body mo.
Deletekaninong katawan ung nasa picture?
DeleteCongrats! Maraming gym, stunt training at acting workshops, kaya mo yan! Iconic ang role, itodo na 'toooo!
DeleteSinabi na ba ng star cinema?
DeleteGrabe naman. Malay mo naman toned na sya, she hardly shows skin.. who knows?
DeleteAng taba ni Liza sa totoo Lang ... need Nya mag gym to the highest level. Maganda Sya talaga pero Need Nya mag tone ng body talaga. But love ko Sya Kaya nagsasabi ng totoo para rin sa kanya yun.
Delete3:05 I think it's Marian's
Delete2:27 She will. Don't worry. I'm sure they will prepare her well.
5 yrs pa bago matoned body nya
DeleteMukha ang pinagbasehan dahil kung katawan at face e saktong sakto ang humble at soft spoken Sexiest Nadine Lustre! Kumontra me anghit!
DeleteLol what is Darna? Ano nagawa nito sa mga buhay niyo at ganito na lang kayo kaconcern kung sino ang dapat na gumanap?
Delete3:18 nakita ko siya month ago at hindi siya mataba. Nakakagulat nga dahil kahit malaman hindi rin eh.
DeleteWow! Bagay na bagay sa kanya. Dapat pag aralan nya maging astig like Angel.
ReplyDelete1:34 lahat naman napapag aralan . saan ba natutunan ni Angel mga stunts di ba sa training din? di rin naman natutunan ni Angel yan overnight . #justsaying
Delete2:00 nasa character na yun ni Angel. Bata palang sya e boyish yet can be feminine sya at the same time. at ilang taon sya nag training at sya ang authentic na action-drama-fantasy queen. Nasa personality nya ang Darna.
Deletemillenial ba si 1:34? Astig na sayo si angel nilang Darna? fyi Nanette Merved knows martial arts even before she played Darna. yung iba umaga lang sa stunt double and that includes your idol
DeleteSi Angel lang talaga iba ang dating. Totoo Astigin sya yet feminine. Bakit ba hindi nyo matanggap yun mga fantard ng you know who dyan? Totoo naman sinasabi ni anon 1:34.
DeleteShe is looks young at short para magdarna. Gusto ko pa rin si angel locsin. Sana may special patripation c angel kahit si angel na lng narda para wala harnis
ReplyDelete5'7 na si Liza si angel yata hinde nmn ganun katangkad... hinde na short yun ateng
DeleteShort? Liza is taller than angel!!
DeleteMas matangkad p yan sa yo at kay Pia. Mema lng inday.
DeleteHindi na pwede si Angel. She is too old. It would be easier for you to accept that. Liza is the perfect choice.
Deletewag nang ipilit si angel dahil matanda na at nagiging sakitin na
DeleteI knew it. Congratulations Liza!
ReplyDeleteIs this true? Good choice!!!
ReplyDeleteNye
ReplyDeleteAyaw ko maging judgmental sa choice but seryoso ba to??As in? LOL.. Oh well, maganda nman talaga si Liza, sana lang di sya pumiyok sa "DARNA!" part Hahaha
ReplyDeleteAt sana di magmukhang ewan sa tight scene. But to see is to believe sabi nga. Congrats pa rin Liza. Lakas! LOL
Hindi naman si angel ang sumigaw ng darna dati
DeletePanahon ni Angel not sure if panahon din ni Marian, si Regine ang sumisigaw ng "Darna!"
DeleteDubbed po yung sigaw ni Darna. Mema lang
Deletekaya yan...
DeleteNot the right choice.
Deleteisn't she too young for the role?
ReplyDeleteNo. Do research and find out how old the other Darnas were when they started.
DeleteOk lang yon age nya pero ang question is kung ready na ba sya magpakadaring at astig. Maypagkatimid pa naman yan baka mahiya sya pagsuot na nya yon darna suit at baka maawkward na sya pagginagawa yon stunts. Dapat talaga malakas loob nya.
DeleteNasanay kasi tayong wholesome ang image nya. Kaya parang nakakabigla. Dati kasi si Angel merong Mulawin na nag show ng konting skin kaya di na nabigla ang tao sa Darna. Same with Marian na nag marimar muna in a tight white dress. Sana may launching din muna sila kay Liza para yung mga fans di mabibigla cause she will always be our baby hopie.
DeletePara pa nganng baby si Liza yung mukha niya parang anghel.
Deletedi bagay
ReplyDeleteSagwa..
DeleteSige kayo na lang kayo na lang maging bato
Deleteumiral nanaman ang pagkainggit para sa idol nila
DeleteKalokohan.. ang laking bulas nya para mag darna.. i mean she's beautiful.. but her body type is not for darna. Hirap na hirap pang magtagalog. Aysus!
Deletei dont think this news is legit. la namang sinasabi pa ang abs-cbn. she really has to work out hard for the role and work hard for the body. workshop pa more kasi hindi nag tataglish si darna.
DeleteAng gaganda siguro nitong sina 1:39 at 3:05 i mean super gorgeous siguro kayo like omg
Deletemas maganda naman matangkad na darna kesa sa punggok na si nadine
Deletepwede! Angel was at the same age when she became Darna. So why not let Hope do it? Pwede naman siya.
ReplyDeleteGod choice! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteokay. finally, they had a choice to play darna and that's liza
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Liza! Etong batang to laging may ibubuga.
ReplyDeletehindi po ata bagay..
ReplyDeleteAy paki sabi yan kay direk matti cause sya ang bet mag darna
Delete2:14 she was not the original bet of Matti. Napilitan nalang coz his bet was taken out of this role.
DeletePasensya na kung di napili ang bet nyo magDarna. Pero kse di naman basta basta magdedecide si Direk kung di babagay kay Liza ang role.
DeleteSana hindi lamya...lalo na sa pagsasalita at fight scenes..pero knowing liza...matutunan dn nia lahat... Medved and Locsin ang pinakagusto ko sa lahat na nagdarna...
Delete2:47 kahit di man sya first choice pero sya pa rin pinili. And he was vocal about for 2 years
DeleteAnon 2:47. Sino ung unang bet I Direk Matti?
Deletemaasyado pang baby ang katawan nya..hindi pa bagay
ReplyDeleteAnybody basta hindi yung walwal N hindi role model para sa Darna superhero. Hak hak
ReplyDeleteDarna is a role, not a role model.
DeleteAlam mo kung hate mo lang si nadine at wala talaga pake kay darna or liza. Wag ka na lang dito-liza fan
DeleteGive her a chance to prove her worth as Darna. Lipad, Darna, Lipad!
ReplyDeleteReady ba talaga sya na magsuot ng bra at bikini OUTSIDE? Like sa mga kalye lang dyan sa tabi-tabi tapos in a fight scene pa na bubukaka ka kasi sisipain mo mga kalaban? Bakit kasi kelangang naka panty at bra lagi ang mga female superheroes?
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Sana ibahin ang costume na di ganun ka-skimpy. Sana medyo kagaya nalang sa costume ni Gal Gadot na di kailangan ipakita ang kaluluwa. Hehe.
Deleteso kelangan ang costume ni Darna mag adjust? legacy na yan ng Darna. kung hindi nya kaya e di sana hindi sya mag ambition sa role.. at teka paliitin nya ang puson nya kasi ang laki.. at pwede rin siguro magpadagdadg pwet at balakang?
Deletewala syang sensuality..
Delete1:59 Pwede naman naka short skirt hindi bikini, midrib at hindi bra lang para naman matago ang mga bulges!
DeleteNacurious tuloy ako kung pinasuot ba sa kanya yon darna costume habang nagaudition sya. Malalaman mo kasi ang level ng confidence nya kung suot na nya yon costume.
Delete2:41 pero si wonder woman at super girl pwede mag adjust? Tsk tsk. Oh honey 2:47 sensuality lang ba si darna. Liza exudes sex appeal mata pa lang foxy eyes
Delete2:41 oo naman kailangan costume ni Darna ang mag-adjust. 21st century na ho. Uso na ang feminism na hindi lang sa pagpapakita ng balat lumalabas yung pagka-astig. Please look at Super Girl and Wonder Woman hindi na nakaluwa yung boobs nila
DeleteHindi naman mahinhin si darna..hindi talaga bagay sa kanya...mas ok pa si pia
ReplyDeleteEpal ka Pia.
Deletedon mo malalaman ang galing ng isang artista na di mo personalidad pero kaya mong gampanan na maging astig,di naman sya aacting as liza kundi as darna @1:47pm
DeleteSorry naman sa mga nangangarap ng Darnadine! Bwahahahaha! Di kasi talaga pwede yung costipated face.
ReplyDeleteLeave that girl alone-liza fan
Deletehahaha!!!
DeleteBest choice!
ReplyDeleteConfirmed na ba ito???
ReplyDeleteWell kung si Liza na talaga ok lang! sana lang stop na ang paghype ng Darna
nakakaumay na!
di talaga bagay si liza as darna kahit anong ganda pa nya. Dapat pinay beauty, thats what darna is all about...
ReplyDeleteExcuse me yung first darna ay half american
Deleteracist talaga o. teh, tignan mo ung mga past darna kung lahat un "pinay" look.
DeleteAt sino naman yun? Kahit half american siya, mas mukha pa siyang pinay kesa sa ibang artista diyan.
Deletedi kasi napili idol nya kaya masama loob
DeleteWow ang ganda niya as Darna, bagay! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteano ba naman abs cn dapat hindi sa popularity at face i base kung sino maging darna...how disappointing. Dapat pinay na pinay ang gumanap na darna...
ReplyDeleteeh sino?si nadine?hahaha
DeleteLoL Jadine fan butthurt
DeleteYan pa rin hirit nyo baka sampalin ka ng unag darna na half american half pinay. Direk matti yan di yan kukuha ng sikat lang. She is a good actress bes manood ka kasi ng shows nya ng para di puro kuda
DeleteAt sinong gusto mo? Si ate nadz? Lol no way!
Deleteo sya sige si Madam Kilay na lang mag Darna!pinay na pinay!!!!
Deletebukod sa maganda kasi dapat kumikita sa takilya,kaya wala ng pag asa bet mo @1:56pm
Deleteand tbh she seems too toung to play darna...basta hindi talaga bagay.
ReplyDeleteSeems your too sour.
Deleteinggit ka lang para sa idol mo
DeleteCongrats Liza! Sorry negadarnadine!
ReplyDeleteWeh troll. Bakit naman nadamay si nadine leave nadine alone -liza fan
DeleteAy beshie walang maniniwala syong troll. Pabayaan nyo na si nadine sa buhay nya-liza fan
DeleteCongratulations, liza. Even i, a nadine fan, di ko bet ang darna. Liza can have it and she deserves it.
DeleteOk sya yung darnang naka off shoulder.
ReplyDeleteOk ganun talaga ang buhay, pinatagal ang paghihintay ni angel, si liza pala ang gusto nila.. kawawang angel..
ReplyDeleteKayo lang naman ang umasa ah? Eh sabi na nga ni angel di na nya kaya. Kayo lang naman push ng push kay angel eh. Kami nga nga liza fans pinapatay na dati ang issue at yung ngayon may mga ibang liza fans na di pa rin approve eh
DeleteI love Angel, but the ball was on her court all the time. The delay was on her part due to her not being physically able to do it. Still the same reason. So don't make it look like they just dumped Gel. She was given plenty of time to get ready.
Deleteeh what's the point? si ogie diaz narin mismo nagsabi na gagamit sila ng technical edit , double and stunts para hindi physical ang gagawin n liza?
Delete2:21 at dahil pinaasa kami. Eh ano masama dun? Ilang beses sinabi ni malou santos saamin na angel is preparing for Darna. Pinaoperahan pa ng 2x at pna training pa. so bakit hindi kami aaasa?
Delete226..true! to be fair wd ABS they gave Angel enough time to prepare physically, almost a year din sila pinaghintay ni Angel. ABS didn't dump her, they just have to call the shots kse baka maumay ang tao sa kaka-hintay
Delete2:21 hu? Eh diba last year pa nyang sinabi na di na sya mag dadarna? So di pa ba yun sign na dapat stop na mag push kay angel?
DeleteWhuuuuat???? Hindi ba binigyan pa ng chance si angel para mag recover kya na delay na na delay ang project?
Deletei dont get this hate from angel fans. angel was a great darna, she cant do it any longer, she declined. my favorite is nanette medved and i think she did a better darna than angel. pero di naman ako nagwawala ng hindi na si nanette ang darna at napalitan ni aj abayari! ano ba gusto ng fans pilitin na mag darna si angel? she was given a chance, and another and another, hello she cant do it anymore!
Delete2:49 admit it angel is not physically ready.. why risk ur idol's health?
DeleteHello! Hinintay c angel ng management hanggang gumaling. Pero ang ate mo puro hiking at kung ano anong ginagawa imbis na magpagaling kaya na ligwak tuloy sa darna role. Susmiyo
DeleteWow bagay! Prettiest darna ever!
ReplyDeleteWag OA tard Marian is still the prettiest darna ever.
Deleteeto na naman si prettiest kuno.. mahiya naman ang baba ni Liza sa perfect face nila angel and marian.
Deletetrue lmao 2:37
Delete2:37 agree para sakin Marian and Vilma are the best Darna.
Delete2:37 di rin. Saw them both on a different year pero both simple and maganda and walang makeup. Pero iba ang ganda ni liza.
DeleteAgree 2:37
Delete237 mas OA ka, kung tingin nya c Liza un pinaka pretty ni Darna pabayaan mo sha, wag mo ipasok un flop mong idol dito
Delete2:37 wag rin OA bes may iba mas nagagandahan kay marian may iba naman mas nagagandahan kay liza.
DeleteAgree, 2:12. Liza is so effortlessly beautiful and nageexude ng good vibes.
Deletehoy ikaw ang OA 237..wag mo nga masingit yan idol mong jinx, mahawa pa c Liza jan e ma-flop pa tong Darna nya
Delete2:37 uy di rin
Delete2:43 kung maka perfect face ka eh hindi naman ganun kaganda si angel locsin lalo na pag walang make up.
DeleteHabang tumatagal pumapanget na xa.
Deletepanis lahat yan kay nanette medved!
DeletePrettiest naman talaga. May angle sa screen sina yanyan at gel na di naman kagandahan pero si liza very telegenic..
DeletePhysical looks bagay. Acting wise may Ibubuga. Alanganin ako sa fight scenes baka masyadong mahinhin
ReplyDeleteshe has a squeaky voice, hindi astigin, walang hint ng kanto tone hahahah. Baka ibahin naman nila ang storyline, sosyalin na darna siguro
DeleteBagay kay Liza ang maging Darna. Baka siguro patago siyang pinagtratraining ng management who knows.
Deletehindi ko alam na siga sa kanto si darna/narda.
DeleteAy sorry te, when needed, tanggal lahat ng sosyalin and American accent ni madam. I was overseas nung pinanood ko Forevermore, nagulat ako na in real life half American and may twang sya magsalita. Hindi narinig at all sa show, pati english nya doon very Filipino english.
DeleteAng dame pang pasikot sikot ang ABS alam naman na dati pa c Liza ang napili nila. Publicity nga naman.
ReplyDeletecongrats liza!u deserve the stone!
ReplyDeleteBagay na bagay sa knya..nsa knya ung aurahang pangdarba..prang pati director sya tlga ang bet eh..congratssss
ReplyDeletelooking forward! But is this really her? Or body ni Angel na nilagyan ng head ni Liza?
ReplyDeleteYung totoo teh? Obvious naman na mukha ni Liza na pinatong sa katawan ng iba. Pagawa ka na ng salamin
DeleteHahaha edit lang po yan.
DeleteOk na si Liza kesa kay nadine lol
ReplyDeleteKaloka ka.bes in the first place si matti 2 years na nyang nakaset kay liza na sya ang bet nya mag darna.
DeleteI'm SO HAPPY!! Congratulations Liza!
DeleteI agree 309. Better liza and she set a good example pa for the youth and yun im sorry Ang wala kay nadine...
Deleteeither pia or sanya lopez sana bagay yung role. anyway congrats liza
ReplyDeleteabs nakabili ng rights at di ang viva,kaya sa homegrown talents nila yan ibibigay
DeleteYay! Liza. Ok na kesa nadine or kathryn
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. Di ko alam irereact ko kasi wala ka naman tlgang mapagpiliian s Dos. Sa GMA kasi madami tlga. Well, ang kukunin tlga nila is yung may fanbase. Esp. isasali sa MMFF eh. Magdiet pa sana si Liza dahil medyo malaki pa ang katawan niya. At galingan nya sa mga action stunts. Goodluck!
ReplyDeletePara sa akin mas bagay c Pia or Nadine. Etong ABS may pa poll pa cla c Nadine ang nanalo e c Liza na pala choice nila. Sobrang oa pa ang hype. Kaloka
ReplyDeletelol. umasa ka naman kasi sa poll baks.
DeleteYes yes yes, looove it!!!! Manunuod ako!!! Ganda and sexy ni Liza.
ReplyDeleteGive Liza a chance. A master was once a beginner. Kaya niya siguro yan. Mukhang kakayin naman ni bagets. Naimprove na din naman niya acting niya. I was a basher-proven-wrong wayback she's starting (yung sa got to believe) ang acting niya kasi mukhang tuod but she changed during forevermore. Napa-subscribe tuloy ako sa tfc.
ReplyDeleteHmm I was rooting for her. But parang di na bagay. :(
ReplyDeleteWala pa naman wag mo muna huasgahan. Lol
Deletei dont know ha pero sana yung mga kinuha nilang darna is pire pinoy or tan complection man lang kasi pinoy superhero si darna perl mostly mga pumopotray sa kanya mga half or wala man lanh dugong pinoy..
ReplyDeleteShe maybe half american but she is not white and has pinay beauty. Mas pinay beauty pa sa iba diyang artista na lumaklak ng gluta.
Deletenapapaisip ako sa darna costume nya. 1pc na boyleg ba kaya o darna na naka red wholebody spandex suit? magpapasexy na ba sya?hmmmm..
ReplyDeleteNUMBER 1 CHOICE KO SI SARAH G! PERO OK NA OK SA AKIN SI LIZA!
ReplyDeleteeew.....sarah?
Deletegurang na si sara no
DeleteSarah nlng sana mas bagay pa pinay n pinay png masa appeal.mganda si liza pero malamya at sweet image hindi fierce ang dating
ReplyDeletetanders na si sarah
DeleteBakit kelan naging fierce si sarah?
DeleteNot her real body thou,
ReplyDeleteSiya na ang kaunaunahang darnang naka body suit
ReplyDeleteGood choice si Liza na maging Darna talagang ipinush yata iyan ng director pati management.
ReplyDeleteOk na si Liza rather than the pa cool girl. :) and liza is a good example pa with the kids. Role model.
ReplyDeleteOkay si Liza for darna wag lang lalagyan ng wig please!
ReplyDeletewag na wag nila baguhin ang costume ng darna.
ReplyDeleteat sino ka naman para magdemand? lol.
DeleteYes perfect choice si baby Liza. Alam ko kaya nya yan. Go go go Liza!
ReplyDeleteAng yayabang at bastos talaga majority ng fans ni liza. Imbes pasalamat sa blessig n dumating eh naninira p ng ibang artista.
ReplyDeleteKaya pala nangunguna kumuda fans ni Nadine at Kathryn sa panlalait kay Liza dahil sya ang napiling darna.
DeleteCorrected by ka jan baks.
DeleteOver hype ang darna parang c Liza lang. Lol
DeleteAyan na nagsisimula na ang mga bitter na manira haha
DeleteWala naman silang sinisiraan. Puro nga sila good job Liza lang. Balik ka na sa Jejedines na talaga namang bastos at naninira ng ibang artista
DeleteDyan kayo magaling ang maghugas kamay at magpavictim! Ibabash nyo si Liza at pag binalikan kayo ng fans nya bigla nyong babaliktarin. Galawang lomis nga naman.
Deletedinamay nio pa si kath dito.
DeleteHindi sa ayaw ko kay Liza. Oo, maganda and everything. Kulang lang sa pagiging "tough" and astigin na personality ni Darna na magandang ginanapan nina marian at angel. Ang isa ko rin medyo off ay yung accent nya na halatang may pagkaslang pa. Pero feel ko naman kaya nya. Kaso okay sana if Nadine or Sarah were given the role. nadine has the pinay face and could act astig...
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Wala pa nga eh jinujudge nyo na
DeleteNadine can't act and not a good influence to the youth. Better luck next time.
DeleteNadine cant act. She has a well toned body and her features are pinay but she is not pretty. At sa totoo lang, importante pa rin ang mukha
DeleteBut nadine walang face value
DeleteDi naman ibibigay sa kaniya yung role kung hindi siya ihahanda ng network siyempre pag aaralin nila si Liza ng mga matitigas na act or movement like karate or mabibigat na workout.
DeletePerfect! 👌🏼
ReplyDeleteWhy not jasmine curtis
ReplyDeleteCongrats Liza!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Why wont people be happy for her! Better luck next time nalang sa mga idol nyo. Wag bitter guys!
ReplyDeletePerfect choice!
ReplyDeleteDeng, eng beto...Derna!!! hehe
ReplyDeleteMy choice as darna but not as narda. Di pinay beauty eh.
ReplyDeleteLiza as Darna will shout "Derne!"
ReplyDeleteHahahahahaha! Break break break
DeleteLOL! Darna na di tuwid magtagalog. Ano ba!!! Mas karapat dapat mapunta sa pure pinay ang role. Playing safe ang network. Ang kinuha yung maraming fans para di flop.
ReplyDeleteMatagal na sya napili ng ABS for Darna role. Nagbotohan ang mga bosses between her and Angel. Nanalo sya by 1 point tapos saka sila nag-announce na di na pwede si Angel for health reasons. Kaya pa-eklat lang ng ABS yun kunyari naghahanap ng bagong Darna. Ginamit pa ibang artista eh napili na naman talaga si Liza.
ReplyDeleteang daming inggit na inggit! buwahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteLiza has the face, the body and the acting skills. Yes di sya masyadong astigin but she can give justice sa lahat ng roles na naibigay sa kanya. Watch forevermore and dolce amore! Liza maybe a soft spoken person pero may pagka boyish naman sya. Quit the pure pinay thing ninyo kasi sa panahon ngayon wala ng pure pinay na artista! Di naman kelangan pure eh, look at marian!! Lakas nyong maka racist. Plus, liza has this beautiful olive skin. Di sya mestizang mestiza o maputing maputing. Maganda ang kulay ng balat nya. Tapos!
ReplyDeleteKnowing ABS-CBN and Star Cinema gagawing pabebe ang Darna, malamang gawing romcom pa.. Parang malamya si Liza para maging Darna, goodluck sa fight scenes...
ReplyDeleteMatagal na palang napili siya eh bakit kailangan pang manghula ang mga tao kung sino ang mgiging Darna they make the people stupid & tanga tapos nagingay pa sila sa social media ka ekekan nila.
DeleteKulang sa confidence si liza. Malamya. Dapat si nadine the best sya sa roal. Walang manonood nyan.
ReplyDeleteDon't underestimate herwe know Liza pag binibigyan siya ng project ibinibigay niya ang 100% niya dahil love niya yung trabaho niya at eto ang dream niya to become a versatile actress. Di ba iyan ang lagi niyang sinasabi ang napapansin lang sa kaniya ng mga tao yung ganda niya lang kaya she is hunger for the achievement of becoming a good actress not just looking her pretty face.
ReplyDeleteHinfi bagay bes, masyadong pretty face at wholesome ang beauty for a superhero. walang sex appeal.
ReplyDeleteang dami nyong alam! mga inggiterang frog!
ReplyDelete
