(SPOT.ph) News around the superhero mill has been stirring up more than usual in the past few weeks. Marvel Studios just announced their Phase Five and Six slate of movies. Warner Bros. just scrapped their upcoming Batgirl film, which was already done filming. There's so much chatter going on that it's no wonder that The Flash star Ezra Miller can still remain in hiding from the police. Yet all this word-of-mouth may lead you to miss that the Philippines is getting its premier superhero back on screens again, as Darna airs on TV and drops online August.
In anticipation of the reboot series' release, ABS-CBN is hosting a DarnaCon at select Robinsons Malls nationwide, where fans of the Filipino icon can meet the cast of the upcoming show, as well as take pictures at themed booths and perhaps even meet Darna herself.
Here's how to take part in DarnaCon at these Robinsons Malls:
On Saturday, August 6, the cast of Darna will be making an appearance at Robinsons Novaliches (12:00 p.m.), Robinsons Galleria (3:00 p.m.), and Robinsons Place Manila (6:00 p.m.) to deliver live performances, as well as meet the fans of the Filipino superheroine. At these events, there will also be cosplay contests with special prizes, so shout "Darna!" to summon your costume—or order one online if you don't have that particular superpower.
While the official line-up of the cast at the event hasn't been released, the 2022 Darna reboot stars Jane de Leon as the titular character, Iza Calzado, Joshua Garcia, Janella Salvador, and Zaijan Jaranilla in the main ensemble.
If you miss out on August 6, there will also be a "Live Darna standee" showing up on August 27 at Robinsons Antipolo (12:00 p.m.), Robinsons Galleria (3:00 p.m.), Robinsons Malabon (6:00 p.m.), and on August 28 at Robinsons Place Manila (12:00 n.n.), Robinsons Otis (3:00 p.m.), and Robinsons Place Las Piñas (6:00 p.m.).
Details on what "Live Darna standee" means are curiously being kept under wraps; other than that it's a "big surprise" for visitors. Could it be de Leon showing up at these malls, or could Robinsons have gone and captured a literal alien known as Darna? Time will tell...
Additionally, there will be a Darna photobooth at all the mentioned Robinsons Malls; as well as Robinsons Metro East, Robinsons Place General Trias, Robinsons Place Antipolo, Robinsons Cainta, and Robinsons Galleria South.
The 2022 Darna series will start streaming on August 15 on ABS-CBN’s YouTube channel, Kapamilya Online Live, iWantTFC, and The Filipino Channel. Alternatively, your television has this obscure little feature called cable, where Darna will be airing on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, Jeepney TV, and TV5.
