Kapuso star Marian Rivera gave her seal of approval to Angel Locsin's possible reprise of Darna now that ABS-CBN has acquired the rights for a TV and film remake of the popular Mars Ravelo's character.
Angel Locsin has played the role of Darna on television in 2005 when she was still with GMA-7 while Marian Rivera also played the role in a Kapuso Darna TV remake in 2009.
"Okay lang, ganoon naman talaga eh," Marian was quoted as saying by entertainment website PEP, when asked for her comment on Angel Locsin's possible reprise of the Darna character.
"E, Nakailang ulit na rin ang Darna, ang Dyesebel, ang Captain Barbell, so ganoon talaga ang routine. Ito ngang Temptation of Wife, Koreanovela, nakatatlong palabas na, uulitin na naman, e. So ganun lang ang buhay, paulit-ulit," she added.
Marian Rivera also did the remake of Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel which is reportedly being remade again by ABS-CBN, as well as the iconic Pinoy superhero, Captain Barbell. The lucky ones who will play these roles, however, are still not named.
In an earlier interview with ABS-CBN news, Angel Locsin said that she is ready to play Darna again if ever ABS-CBN would give the role to her in the future.
"Ako si Darna talaga. Pero sinurender ko ang bato noon so hindi ko alam kung ibabalik pa sa akin ang bato. Hindi ko alam, hindi pa ako makapagsalita doon kasi siyempre management po ang magsasalita doon and nothing is final pa naman," said Angel.
"Natutuwa naman ako kasi nakikita ko 'yung suporta ng mga Darna fans sa akin. 'Yung mga tao na wini-wish na sana ako pa din si Darna. So tignan natin, sabi nga nila kung sino ang mapalad sa kanya ibibigay 'yung bato," she added.
