Director Erik Matti recently confirmed that the cast for the upcoming remake of “Darna” is complete.
It has been previously revealed that Kapamilya actress Liza Soberano was the chosen one who will inherit the white stone and give life to the iconic Filipino superheroine.
Matti said that they have already chosen the actors who will the cast, including Valentina, Darna’s snake-haired rival.
Fans who are waiting for the film speculated that Anne Curtis will be playing Valentina, but the actress was quick to say that the role has not been offered to her.
Here are some Filipina celebrities who can potentially give justice to this iconic villainess because of their acting chops and oozing fierceness.
1 Maja Salvador
Maja exudes fierceness whenever she steps on the ASAP stage, and she can use that to her advantage in playing the role. Also, who could forget her intense acting when she played Lily Cruz in “Wildflower”?
2 Shaina Magdayao
With her angelic facial features, one might not immediately consider Shaina for the role of Valentina, but her recent kontrabida role in “Asintado” proves that she can be a hateful villain as well.
3. Erich Gonzales
Erich is a chameleon when it comes to acting. She has proven that in her teleserye “The Blood Sister” wherein she plays three characters at a time. Since some versions of Darna have portrayed Valentina as Narda’s friend before she turned evil, Erich will undoubtedly give justice to her changing personalities.
4. Michelle Vito
Since Liza Soberano will play Darna, it is also fitting that an actress within her age group will play the anti-hero. With the acting credits she has to her name, she proves that she has the looks and skills to back it up.
5. Ellen Adarna
If Ellen is planning on making a big showbiz comeback, playing Valentina in this upcoming Erik Matti film might just be the project for her. Aside from the fact that Ellen has already taken on some villain roles in the past, her sultry looks will be perfect for portraying Valentina.
