'Darna' MMFF Teaser Trailer begs the question: who is DARNA?

To the MMFF moviegoer they were treated to a big surprise before the main attractions and it was an exclusive first look at the Star Cinema produced Darna film for 2016. The trailer which was uploaded by a fan was recently removed from YouTube but the face of what Kapamilya star would be Darna for the Kapamilya Network. Only a mere silhouette of the female was made out.

When ABS initially got the rights to the Mars Ravelo comic superheroine they were doing a film and a fantaserye in the coming years. The teleserye version has yet to be cast but now we finally get the go ahead with the Star Cinema film (originally slated for an MMFF 2015 release but delayed due to the disk bulge injury sustained to Angel Locsin during preparations for the aforementioned film).

Check the composite photo and you judge who the Kapamilya Darna will be. Names that were rumored ranged from original Darna Angel Locsin from her days in GMA as the heroine  to Kristine Hermosa, Cristine Reyes, Bangs Garcia to hot young commodities like Nadine Lustre, Maja Salvador, Julia Montes, Kathryn Bernardo, Liza Soberano, Kim Chiu, Yam Concepcion, Meg Imperial, Jane Oineza and Arci Munoz.

Who do you think is the Kapamilya Darna and will she do the role justice under the ABS-CBN banner?

Commentary: I think it will still be Angel Locsin but the side view of the face makes me think it might be Maja Salvador. She isn't afraid to wear the iconic Darna ensemble [see her ASAP Twerk It Like Miley steaming hot performance that has well over 17 million views and counting]. In relation to some of the others noted prior, I'm not sure if Nadine, Kathryn or Liza would be comfortable in that costume. Kristine Hermosa and Cristine Reyes who are now both mothers were rumored but seem to want to shy away from more adult oriented roles especially this one from reports.
