I cried talaga. And I really do understand kasi &#x27;di ba dapat ngayon na ang showing ng movie ng Darna if ever, ngayong 2021. Pero kasi ngayon mayroon ng nakalaan na proyekto (for him) after Darna at ito na &#x27;yung oras na &#x27;yon for him to that movie. Kailangan ko siyang suportahan, pero iba-iba si Direk Jerrold,&quot; de Leon, who was tapped to play the Pinoy superheroine character created by Mars Ravelo, said in an interview with ABS-CBN News on Friday.</p><p>&quot;He is like my brother. I can share everything sa kanya mapa-personal na buhay &#x27;yan o trabaho.

Kasi lagi kong sinasabi sa kanya &#x27;Direk, bakit ba ako ang pinili mo?&#x27; Lagi kong sinasabi sa kanya &#x27;yon, &#x27;Ano ba ang mayroon sa akin?&#x27; And &#x27;yun lagi niyang sinasabi sa akin na basta pagkatiwalaan mo ako, pagkatiwalaan mo ang desisyon ng management,&quot; she said.</p><p>De Leon also reacted on rumors that newest Kapamilya actress Janine Gutierrez might portray Valentina, the serpent-haired nemesis of Darna.</p><p>&quot;Ako, I&#x27;m really happy if ever namakakatrabaho ko siya.
