Soon after the Darna trailer was released, the hashtag #DarnaTrailer made the top trending list on Twitter, and keywords related to the show like Joshua Garcia, Janella, and Valentina, and [also] Iza Calzado trended.
In 2019, Jane De Leon, got announced as the lead star for classic superhero tale. But because of COVID-19 pandemic and the shutdown of ABS-CBN in 2020, production of the said series got postponed.
