KC Concepcion is Darna, Jericho Rosales is Captain Barbell

Actress-host KC Concepcion and actor Jericho Rosales took on the role of the Filipino heroic icons Darna and Captain Barbell during the opening number of ASAP 18 on Sunday, July 28.

Jericho Rosales, donning Captain Barbell's yellow suit, was revealed as the alter-ego of the weak boy Teng, played by Sam Concepcion after the latter raised the magic barbell. Meanwhile, KC Concepcion appeared first as the ordinary Narda before she delivered the immortal line "Ding, ang bato!" to emerge as the superheroine Darna.

Rayver Cruz also played one of Mars Ravelo's superheroes, Lastikman in the ASAP opening dance number while Iya Villania, John Pratts and Arron Villaflor played the villains.

Since ABS-CBN has acquired the exclusive rights to the popular works of Mars Ravelo, including Darna and Captain Barbell, do you think KC and Echo are fit to portray these iconic superheroes when the network starts production of their own remake?

ABS-CBN has yet to choose who will portray Darna and Captain Barbell, but KC, Angel Locsin, Cristine Reyes, Sarah Geronimo and Jessy Mendiola have been considered by many as potential perfect fits for Darna while Echo, Gerald Anderson, Sam Milby, JC De Vera, Joseph Marco and Luis Manzano have been considered to be potential Captain Barbell.

What do you think about Jericho and KC? Are they fit for the roles of Captain Barbell and Darna, respectively?
