Last year, ABS-CBN had acquired the rights to the different masterpieces of Mars Ravelo including the famous Darna, Captain Barbell and Dyesebel. These 3 are the most remade of Ravelo's works, the last of which were from GMA-7 played by its prime talents, Marian Rivera and Richard Guttierez.
Speculations are now abuzz on who will be playing these characters now that the Kapamilya network had the rights for a remake. According to reports, there are rumors that Cristine Reyes was the one chosen to play Darna which was once played by Angel Locsin and Marian Rivera.
There are also reports that it is Gerald Anderson who will play ABS-CBN's Captain Barbell while Andi Eigenmann will be the Kapamilya Dyesebel.
Although nothing is confirmed yet, we can assume that these actors really fit their designated roles. Cristine exudes the sexiness of Darna and Gerald's matinee idol looks and muscled body will also be a good fit for Captain Barbell's suit while Andi is already a creature of the sea after Agua Bendita.
What's more exciting to see is how they will attack on the roles previously played by Kapuso stars. A comparison is always given so it is interesting how ABS-CBN will create their own mark and flavor to these famous works of Mars Ravelo to make it different from previous remakes of rival GMA.
If it's not Cristine, Gerald or Andi, who are your bets?
