After Kapamilya actress Liza Soberano\u2019s shocking announcement last April 4 on backing out on portraying the role of the new adaptation of Pinay superheroine Darna, the former director of the film, Erik Matti, shares his opinion on his top pick for her replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview with the Philippine Star, Direk Erik, who resigned as the director of the film last October 2018 due to \u201ccreative differences\u201d, shares, \u201cI really feel that Liza would have been a fresh and exciting Darna. After Liza, I only see Nadine Lustre so far as someone who can be Darna. Very sultry. She has a lot of female sensuality and at the same time still looks tough and very Filipina.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cThe key to casting Darna has always been someone who can look plain and ordinary in her Narda alter ego but can be tough, spunk and can be very sexy as well when she transforms to Darna. Nadine can look all of that,\u201d concluding, \u201cShe\u2019s young and embodies a lot of potential to create a modern take for this classic superhero character.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Immediately after Liza\u2019s departure from the iconic role, netizens were quick to suggest Nadine to fulfill the duties instead. As a response, she told supporters, \u201cI super appreciate that. For them to see me as a person who is strong and very empowered – Darna is a strong woman and they see that in me, it\u2019s good.\u201d The <\/span>Ulan<\/span><\/i> star continues, \u201cI want to thank everyone for the support of course but Darna kasi<\/em>, I am sure, it will be given to someone who is deserving for the role and someone who can really give justice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As for her opinions on Liza\u2019s finger injury, causing the resignation, Nadine reveals to ABS-CBN News, \u201cWe talked about it before, actually during the Christmas special. She showed to me what happened to her finger. It\u2019s her decision. Of course, everyone respects it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
