Exclusive - Will Vice Ganda Be the Next Darna? Find Out Here!


On Monday, March 20, 2017, Star Cinema announced that they would no longer be tapping Angel Locsin to play the iconic role of ‘Darna’ in Erik Matti’s upcoming film. 

This decision was prompted by the health issues that the actress suffered under after training for the role that she originally signed up for. 

ABS-CBN News reported that Malou Santos, the managing director of Star Cinema, stated:  "Sobrang nalungkot kasi nung una, nung nalaman namin na mayroon siyang problema sa likod, sinabihan na namin siya na she cannot play Darna.” 

“But, because deep in our hearts na siya lang ang pwedeng maging Darna, we gave her the chance and she promised to do the therapy na magpapagaling siya para sa kanyang likod," Malou continued. 

"Pero unfortunately, three weeks ago, nakaramdam na naman siya ng pain sa likod. So ito na ang pinaka-final verdict na she cannot play Darna kasi mas importante ang buhay niya kaysa sa pelikula na Darna.” 

“So ang iisipin ko na lang at least napatunayan niya 'yung dedikasyon niya sa craft niya,” the managing director said.

Netizens were quick to mention their choice of alternatives following the press release. 

Some of the more popular picks were Yassi Pressman, Maja Salvador, Liza Soberano, and even Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach. 

However, one candidate stood out: it was none other than comedian-host Vice Ganda. 

A poll was conducted by DZMM on Tuesday, March 21. Liza Soberano topped the list, followed by Nadine Lustre. 

Vice Ganda was the only male included in the list. Apparently, a few netizens actually voted for him.
