Social media is buzzing with excitement as Star Magic, ABS-CBN’s premier talent agency, dropped a bombshell teaser on May 7, 2025, hinting at a collaborative project featuring two of the industry’s brightest stars: Kathryn Bernardo and Nadine Lustre.
Dubbed “#ProjectQueens,” the announcement has sent fans into a whirlwind of anticipation, with social media platforms, particularly X, erupting in reactions that range from ecstatic to speculative. This powerhouse pairing, long dreamed of by their respective fanbases, promises to be a cultural moment, uniting two Kapamilya queens known for their talent, charisma, and undeniable influence.
Kathryn Bernardo, the Box Office Queen, and Nadine Lustre, a multifaceted artist celebrated for her bold roles, have each carved out illustrious careers. Bernardo, fresh off her success in Hello, Love, Again with Alden Richards, is a household name with accolades like the 2024 FAMAS Best Actress award. Lustre, meanwhile, has been captivating audiences with projects like Nokturno and the MMFF 2024 entry Uninvited, while it was for Greed that she earned her second FAMAS Best Actress nod in 2023.
Their recent joint appearance on a Cosmopolitan Philippines cover for a Cream Silk campaign showcased their chemistry, proving that these two icons uplift rather than compete. As Cosmopolitan Philippines noted, “No competition, no comparisons—just two women thriving in their own right.”
Star Magic’s teaser, captioned “#ProjectQueens is ready to slay!” alongside a tantalizing image of the duo, sparked immediate speculation. Is it a film, a series, or another endorsement? Fans, affectionately dubbing the pair “KathDine,” have been vocal about their hopes for a major project. Their warm interactions at the ABS-CBN Ball 2025 on April 4, where they were seen hugging and bantering, already had fans dreaming of a collaboration.
As one X user, @livelikepotter, exclaimed, “Star Magic has finally granted us a Kathryn Bernardo x Nadine Lustre project.”
Netizens are abuzz with theories and excitement. @CYthefanboy posted, “Ano itong pinost ng
@starmagicphils na Kathryn Bernardo x Nadine Lustre? #ProjectQueens,” reflecting the curiosity gripping fans.
Meanwhile, @newswatchplusph declared, “IT’S HAPPENING, #KATHDINE FANS!,” capturing the collective euphoria.
Some, like @AltIndayBadiday, emphasized the cultural weight of the moment, stating, “#KathDine IS READY TO SLAY!” Others, however, tempered their excitement with caution, noting the project might be another endorsement rather than a film or series.
X user @larzlarzlarz hinted, “Matutuloy ang collab… dahil sa endorsement muna sila magsasama #CareMoNaman,” suggesting a continuation of their Cream Silk partnership.
While details remain under wraps, Star Magic’s teaser has already achieved its goal: igniting a firestorm of excitement. Whether #ProjectQueens is a cinematic venture or a commercial, Kathryn and Nadine are poised to redefine collaboration in Philippine showbiz.
As fans eagerly await more clues, one thing is clear—KathDine is ready to reign.
