This will surely disappoint a lot of Darna fans, since it been reported that Darna film starring Jane De Leon will no longer push through.
The reason for the cancellation is that the production cost of the film has ballooned to PHP240 million, Php 140 million have already been spent and Php 100 million more is needed to complete the project.
The film as previously scheduled for a 2020 release but due to the delays that it experience, including the delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the ABS-CBN and Star Cinema decided not to continue the project.
Liza Soberano was originally given the role but she had to leave the project in April due to an injury on her finger that required her to undergo surgery.
Created by writer Mars Ravelo and artist Nestor Redondo, Darna follows the story of Narda who becomes the titular superhero after swallowing a white stone that fell from the sky.
