In one of the ‘Dolce Amore‘ episode, there was a scene where actress Liza Soberano’s character, Serena screamed “Darna” then asked Tenten, which was played by actor Enrique Gil, if “Bagay ba?” This created a huge uproar among Soberano’s followers, who instantly speculated and created fan-made Darna posters for her.
However, in an interview during the ABS–CBN Gabi ng Pangarap Trade Event, she denied all rumors and commented that the line was nothing more but was just “only part of the script.” “It doesn’t mean anything naman talaga. Because there’s speculation before I think so they were just teasing the audience.”
Apparently, even before the fussed about episode, the 18–year–old has been expressing interest in playing the Filipino superhero and komiks icon. And even she was actually one of the considered actresses to take the place of actress Angel Locsin (who was injured), that’s why fans of Liza was so exicted and thought that maybe Serena’s shout of “Darna” was hinting on it.
Still, nothing is official yet and Soberano told interviewers that taking up ‘Darna’ “Would be an honor” but added, “I don’t know if I’m ready just yet.” No matter if she’s obtained the role of not, Soberano yearned to play physically challenging roles in the future.
“I want to do action talaga. Wala lang, parang cool lang na parang mga superhero or like a zombie or something like that.”
Meanwhile, the “Darna” director, Erik Matti, told DZMM that he agrees that Soberano can play the role. “She has the strength physically, ‘yung itsura at katawan. And then tama ‘yung edad and you can do a lot of things sa mukha niya. Puwede siya mag-iba-iba ng itsura and she could still look really good. At the same time, Pinay siya na maganda, pan-Asian. Mahirap ‘yung mestiza eh.”
On the other hand, here are the following actresses who was reportedly being eyed for the role: Jessy Mendiola, Nadine Lustre, and Arci Muñoz.
