Mars Ravelo’s daughter Roberta Ravelo is eyeing Kapamilya actor Daniel Padilla to portray the role of the popular Pinoy superhero ‘Captain Barbell’.
As Mars Ravelo’s ‘Darna’ series nears its end, the Ravelo family is hoping that the ABS-CBN network will also do a remake of their other creations.
During the media conference of ‘Darna’ on January 30, Roberta Ravelo said that ABS-CBN did a good job in making the series.
“Talagang malaki ang ginawa ng ABS, malaking tulong. Talagang maganda ang pagkakagawa compared to others,” she revealed to reporters. “So far, ‘yun ang the best, number 1 talaga ‘yung Darna (ni ABS),” she said.
Ravelo also expressed her hopes for the network to create a new TV adaptation for Mars Ravelo’s ‘Captain Barbell’ and ‘Dyesebel’.
For Captain Barbell, Ravelo said that she wanted Daniel Padilla to lead and to be paired with his girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo.
Ravelo shared, “Captain Barbell or Lastikman, sana yun nga. Pero sabi nila either Dyesebel or Captain Barbell. Kaya lang ang Dyesebel limited lang ‘yung story nun, hanggang lang ng ilalim ng tubig nun.” She added,“Magandang love team (KathNiel). Di ba kasi ikakasal sila. Malaki ang maitutulong nila sa Captain Barbell.”
Mars Ravelo was a Filipino comic book cartoonist and graphic novelist who created Darna, Dyesebel, Captain Barbell, and Lastikman.
