Santos revealed that "For Darna, we’re already done with the story of her past. We’re already brainstorming. We’re targeting next year for filming. So tuloy-tuloy na ‘yun." She explained that Star Cinema is aiming to showcase special effects that viewers has never witnessed from previous movies and television series.

According to Santos, it is only Reality productions who has the capacity to provide the effects that they want.

Locsin meanwhile revealed her desire to play the role of Darna again. She said that “Ako kasi si Darna, feeling ko talaga eh. Kahit hindi ibigay ulit sa akin ang bato, part na siya ng pagkatao ko. 'Yung magkaroon ako ng opportunity at nagawa ko naman nang maayos 'yung duty ko bilang si Darna, malaking bagay na 'yun sa akin. Pero kung magbabalik ako, okay lang."
