Angel revealed agreement with ABS-CBN.
Locsin noted that Darna just got delayed and took five years to prepare.
“Noong gagawin ko po dapat yung Darna, meron kaming agreement ng ABS na hindi ako tatanggap ng ibang project hangga’t ginagawa pa yung Darna. Dahil umabot nga po tayo ng lampas limang taon yata, yung preparation ng Darna, nadelay nang nadelay.

“Though nakakagawa ako ng guestings, ng pelikula, pero yung teleserye, not allowed. At may agreement naman po kami sa ganun kasi mahirap. Very physical at saka yung schedule na kailangan, medyo challenge kaya natagalan nga siya.”
Would Angel play Valentina?
Locsin had to turn down Darna and Liza Soberano was chosen as her replacement. She, then, thought about turning down the lead role.
“Sinabi ko naman talaga sa kanila noon pa na baka it’s time na ibigay sa iba. Nagsabi pa nga ako na gusto ko maging Valentina noon, ayaw nila. Hindi nila tinanggap. Bago pa ito, bago pa namin i-announce na gagawin ang Darna sa ABS-CBN.”
