Lisa Soberano as the New Darna: Excited for Her Portrayal of the Iconic Super-heroine of the Philippines

Maja Salvador, Jessy Mendiola, Megan Young, Nadine Lustre, Lisa Soberano, and even Pia Wurtzbach were among those that were rumored among the choices for the role of the new Darna.

But finally it has been announced that the role is given to Lisa Soberano, who inspite of being most connected as an English-speaking teen actress, she managed to get away with the role of a poor girl at the La Presa community in the Forevermore teleserye.

After successful portrayals of Angel Locsin and Marianne Rivera, it is but fitting that the chosen actress to play the role of the new Darna comes equal if not better than the two, and especially the earlier actresses who had worn the ala- Wonder Woman costume. Though we all know that Darna may just be the Filipino version of Wonder Woman, the Darna superhero is still among our iconic images in Philippine pop culture. The character deserves higher quality of portrayal from the most suited and fitting actress of this generation.

Why not, Lisa Soberano definitely has the face and the body, including a voluptuous bosom that would look good in a Darna outfit. The question now is what would the outfit look like. Would the production team come up with a modern look for Darna, or would they still go for the traditional sexy and alluring look complete with head gear and bracelets?

Ever since the announcement, netizens have also released several artworks or renditions of Lisa Soberano donning the Darna outfit.

Below are just some of the noteworthy images as compiled from the Internet coming from social media pages like Facebook.
