Besting many hopefuls, from unknowns to popular talents from the two major networks, ABS-CBN talent, Jane de Leon was awarded the coveted role. She joins the ranks of previous actresses who have played the role, such as Vilma Santos, Angel Locsin, and Marian Rivera.
After Darna has been confirmed, the search for other roles was the subject of fan speculations. According to sources, Darna’s leading man has been chosen. Paulo Avelino has been assigned to partner with de Leon in the movie. Avelino has worked with Tarog in ‘Heneral Luna’ and in his title role in ‘Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral’.
Incidentally, the role of Darna’s nemesis, Valentina, was allegedly offered to a popular ‘bida/kontrabida’ Kapamilya actress, who allegedly turned down the offer. Other celebrities rumored to be considered for the role of ‘Valentina’ are Ivana Alawi and even Pia Wurtzbach.
People seems to lose interest. Good luck tho.
ReplyDeleteseem
DeleteHong tagal naman kaseeeee! Besides, ano pa ba bagong storyline ni Darna na di pa nagagawa?
DeleteSeemed
DeletePang iWant tv itech
DeleteGudlak susme nagsama sama mga box office!!! Grabe talagang sugal ito. Lalo kay Jane. Movie pa. Buti kung serye lang o iWant
Deleteyeah, it took so long...
DeleteBasta dapat bayaran ng tama ang mga crew at panatiliin na safe ang work environment sa lahat hindi lang sa mga lead actors & actresses.
DeletePeople seem to have lost interest*
DeletePara sayo rin 4:24
Napatawa mo ako 8:09! Langya ka! Hahaha 😂
DeleteNako wag na c Ivana at Pia for Valentina, for sure masasapawan yun bida, c Ivana masyadong sexy while Pia is too glamorous.
ReplyDeletetrue 3:32 mas sexy pa c Ivana baka siya pa ang mas tatatak kesa sa bida hahaha nawala na ang gana ng madlang pipz sa movie na to..
DeleteSi Pia glamorous? No thanks. Lol.
DeleteCorrect. Lalamunan lang sya nung dalawa. Mas malakas ang appeal ni pia and ivana
Delete@332 korek ka dyan. Mas interesting pa yun role tuloy ng villainess. And true din na nawalan na ng interes mga tao sa Darna.
Deletejusq pag c ivana ang ipapasok finish na hinaharap pa lng 🤣🤣
DeleteSi Pia ? Ma-appeal, nasaan? Tagal niya sa Star Magic ateng noon pa man ,ni-isang kapamilya na boys walang napabalitang nagligaw or nagkacrush sa kanya! Napansin lang siya noong nanalo sa Ms. U! Sa truth lang Tayo, kung Hindi siya nanalo, I doubt it na ganyan ang sasahihin mo.
DeletePrefer Pia or Ivana to be Darna not Valentina.
DeleteMaganda kung si Ivana para bago naman
DeleteSorry but Pia and Ivana’s acting were so lame. If Pia wasn’t a Ms U tingin mo may career siya? While Ivana if not sexy yung acting niya lang nganga.
Delete7:54 wala pa siya makeover nun lol. Nagimprove ng malaki yung appearance niya ng nagcompete siya sa pageant dahil sa training
DeleteIvana for Black Darna!
Deletewag si Ivana, pang lead si Ivana, mas pwede pa si Pia jan sa role na valentina, sana sa IwantTV ito ipalabas
Delete10:03 Is Jane de Leon any better sa actingan?
DeleteIvana for Valentina 🙏
ReplyDeleteSi Ivana na lang ang Valentina. I don't think kukunin ni Pia ang role dahil may image lalo na her features/ face can make her a good kontrabida.
ReplyDeleteNaku ,ngworry na talaga ako
ReplyDeleteThis will flop so hard. Walang box office movie si Paulo no.
ReplyDeleteNakasama naman siya sa Unmarried Wife ni Angelica and Dingdong malakas naman yun
Delete10:05 kumita but not bcos of Paulo
DeleteGoyo?
DeleteNa goyo
DeleteMeron pa bang interesado sa Darna?
ReplyDeleteParang wala lang naman sa mga tao kung matuloy man to o hindi.
DeleteWala.
DeleteNawala na. Sobrang tagal.
DeleteKung magkaCameo lang sana si Captain Marvel at si Thanos.....
DeleteMga bata na lang siguro
DeleteI doubt if even mga bata maging interesado sa dami ng Marvel at DC movies.
DeleteHmm Paulo is a very good actor but let’s be honest he has zero mass appeal👀 Jane is still a starlet, they should’ve casted a bigger name actor for her leading man. At this rate they need to choose a really big name actress to play Valentina cuz right now this project has zero appeal.
ReplyDeleteEh parepareho lang atake ni paulo avelino eh
DeleteAgree plus isn’t Paulo a lot older than her? They should’ve chosen someone more in her batch, maybe Joshua Garcia, Kiko Estrada, Arjo, etc. At least someone who will appeal to the mellenial fanbase since this is a coming of age Darna movie. Seems like this movie will rely on whoever is playing Valentina! The roles of Darna and her leading man have already been miscasted imo👀
DeleteThis! Kulang sa charisma si Paulo to be honest
Delete6:14 Mas mukhang Ding si Joshua next to Jane hindi bagay lol
DeleteDapat wala na lang leading man or romantic interest. Ayusin na lang yung story at action scenes.
DeleteSana si Ivana nalang para tuloy tuloy ang rise to fame nya. I really like her personality! Surprisingly, di din sya papahuli sa actingan kela Jodi sa “Sino ang may sala”
ReplyDeleteVery risky move to, so I dunno if abs will take the risk. Hindi pa napapatunayan that she actually has the range para magplay ng ganitong role cause fantasy/superhero movie to. Apart from pagiging kontrabida, dapat may otherwordly na factor din yung pagarte cause they're not playing ordinary people.
Delete11:16 yet si Jane kinuha nila as Darna 🙄 at least, Ivana has ‘following’ than Jane na very Plain.
Delete1:26 they don't have much of a choice tbh. There's nobody in their roster who could play darna.
DeletePut Ivana as the Valentina, mas bagay at mas may hatak.
DeleteOops. Mukang papanoodin ko na. Basta madaming appearances si Paulo!
ReplyDeleteMaganda sana kung gawin si Paulo na kontrabida dito.
DeleteMore than the Darna role I believe importante din sa movie ang mag po-portray as Valentina. Dapat pang bida din ang aurahan!
ReplyDeleteGlamorous? Maybe, pero hindi pa din marunong umarte si Pia.
ReplyDeleteKaya ni Jane Yan,fit na fit na siya eh
ReplyDeleteKaso yunh ivana at pia oozing ng sex appeal sapaw
DeleteEh hindi naman masyadong maganda ang face ni ivana at pia compared kay jane so okay lang.
Deleteeven sa mga old darna movies and serye hindi naman masyado big deal kung sino ang love interest na guy, mas interested mga tao sa kontrabida
ReplyDeletepag si pia masasapawan yung bida sa totoo lang
mas bagay si denise laurel, para di masyado ma lamon yung new darna dahil sa height
what if kung si Arci ang Valentina?
DeleteNo to Arci. Isa lang din atake nya parang jologs na pacool.
DeleteUmm only if Arci will not talk the way she talks in all the characters she plays.
Delete11:15 what kung magsalita si Valentina aka Arci, eh pabebe?
DeleteSino kayang bida-kontrabida nag decline? Hmmm Denise Laurel? Saw yung TWBA guesting, pwede. Pwede ring Ivana, Ivana nalang. Ganda ng mata, seductive.
ReplyDeleteDenise laurel majubis
DeleteNorm lang sa atin yung slim body, but denise is curvy na flat yung tummy, with very thick and strong legs. Hindi siya majubis.
DeleteShes thick 12:35, not literally majubis like we used to know. Ang ganda kaya ng body ni denise.
DeleteDi naman majubis. Malaki laag balakang sa tv pero in person, grabe sexy. Liit ng beywang at ok nman ang balakang.
Deletepde b un itry muna s iwantv pra tesring the waters lang kung magcli2ck or not?
ReplyDeleteMasyado matangkad si Pia, maliit lang si Jane. Parang sapaw na agad
ReplyDelete..
Oooowwwss??? Baka si pia ang masapawan ng pretty face ni Jane. Bagay naman talaga ni pia ang valentina kasi mukhang villain ang beauty nya.
DeleteParang Hindi naman bagay si Paulo Kay Jane sana medyo bata ng konti or baguhang actor na lang din.
ReplyDeletehindi siya bagay kahit kanino because he cannot act. monotonous and lifeless
DeleteBe good and just wish them all the luck. The girl is working hard for the role. I am no fan of anyone but giving respect to one's effort and work is one in the book.
ReplyDeleteI thought si Joshua G. ang gaganap sa Efren role.
ReplyDeleteKulang sa mass appeal si Joshua. Hindi rin Sobrang gwapo sa big screen. Isang hit movie lang ang nagawa nila ni Julia, ang first movie nila sa MMFF, mga sumunod na movie nila ay waley na. Block Z struggles at Box office
DeleteI think Dimples Romana turned down the role of Valentina
ReplyDeleteHindi naman bida-kontrabida si Dimples. Kontrabida lang siya.
DeleteIf it was Dimples and she turned it down, mabuti naman. At this time, umay na umay na ako sa kanilang dalawa ni Beauty na nag ala Charlie’s Angel ang drama sa hulihan ng KG. Bleh!
DeleteHope the storyline would be good. Goodluck!
ReplyDeleteI like Ivana as valentine but if andun sya, this movie might not be Darna anymore, rather, magiging Valentina na. 😂 Sexy, maganda, magaling umarte at ma appeal sa masa, lalo sa boys si Ivana. So finish na pag ibalik at tinanggap nya.
ReplyDeletePag sya nag valentina. For sure sya yung aabangan di yung Darna. So maaalis yung spotlight sa bida
DeleteI don't think so. Of course, makakadagdag ang hatak ni Ivana sa boys pero hindi naman nya kabog ang facial beauty ni Jane so mapapansin parin si Jane.
DeleteAnother Darna nonsense remake. How many times do they need to do this nonsense? Can’t think of any other stories? Lol.
ReplyDeleteGusto makisabay sa kasikatan ng superhero movies.
DeleteOo nga Puro garbash na lang talaga. Puro kalokohan lang.
DeletePuro tamad kasi. No imagination.
Delete10:20. But they can’t afford a proper CGI for it. They don’t have the technology and experts. It will just look like another amateurish and cheap pinas movie.
Deletesi ivana na lang tapos gawin na lang backstory ni valentina, parang joker, harley quinn, ganern. Parang mas matunog pa si ateng kay darna.
ReplyDeletepogi naman si Paulo pero parang kulang ng dating at boring
ReplyDeleteThis is a big gamble! Walang hatak! Ivana or pia will overshadow darna!
ReplyDeleteThis is a big gamble! Walang hatak! Ivana or pia will overshadow darna!
ReplyDeleteMarunong umarte pero walang charisma sa masa.
ReplyDeleteMedyo may edad na rin at parang tumaba.
May double chin na ✌️
For me sana wag muna nila ilabas agad2 si Valentina. Mag labas muna sila ng puchu2 na kalaban.. focus muna sa backstory ni Narda/Darna then itease nila si Valentina sa post credits scene! Ganern! Para may abangan sa sequel! Nyahahahha
ReplyDeleteNaku kala ko coming of age movie ito? Ang tanda na ni Paulo! Jusme, wala pang appeal! Ibigay nila yang leading man role sa bata at inosente. Yung mala Joshua Garcia.
ReplyDeleteI like Paulo because of his looks...But he is so bland and boring at the same time. He acts the same in every movie or series he's in...No more surprise.
ReplyDeleteSame yet gets awards eh parepareho na antok acting si kuya.
DeleteSame!!! I thought ako lang pero super boring yung acting nya. Same atake lagi
DeleteThey need big names with legit talent para madala tong movie na to. A solid supporting cast can really help elevate the performance of the lead actress. Or at least, make it look like she's doing really good too.
ReplyDeleteIt will hype people soon enough that depends on their marketing.
ReplyDeleteMasyadong malakas ang dating ni Ivana compared to Jane. Not to mention that Ivana is actually a good actress. Baka dapat kumuha sila ng magaling pero lesser known para di pa ganun kalakas ang dating sa tao. They need to help Jane but at at the same time di sya masapawan.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Sobrang ganda ng mukha ni Jane, hindi sya masasapwan ni Ivana. Sa sexy body ang edge nI ivana pero hindi kasing ganda ng mukha nya ang mukha ni jane.
DeleteAntayin nyo na lang kasi.
Wala namang ka.amor2 ang acting ni Paulo tho. He’s very uninteresting na tao both from the character that he plays to the person that he is offcam.
ReplyDeleteSana kung gano ka busisi at ingay sa pag pili ng Darna role ganun rin sana ka metikuloso at ganda sa pag gawa ng pelikula lalo na sa istorya at digital effects.
ReplyDeleteNakupo walang kada dating mga bida flop yan.
ReplyDeletegusto ko din si ivana for valentina! kebs kung masapawan nya si darna. tapos gawan nila ng spin off series sa iwant or origin movie si valentina
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteSa totoo lang bet ko si Maxine Medina when I saw her doing a bit of action role sa Los Bastardos. Very Pinay ang beauty. Ma woworkshop pa ang acting nya. Sadly the network capped an age limit. Maxine as Darna, Ivana as Valentina. Oh Di ba winner na winner. Very Pinay na bida at Ivana in contrast to Maxine’s demure look.
ReplyDeleteMaxine is just typical looking chinita/morena pinay.
DeleteWalang appeal sa masa si paulo pero anyway yung girl naman ang bida. Para cguro di matabunan.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks
ReplyDeleteI love paulo avelino pero paranG hindi sila compatible ni jane diba? AnG dami namanG pwedinG pagpilian na leadinG man na kaedad ni jean like yes joshua garcia..si tony labrusca sam concepcion, aaron villaflor..dami pa.kaya'
