LIZA Soberano is keen to do all the stunts in her much-anticipated Star Cinema movie "Darna".
The Kapamilya actress said she wants to be physically ready once she started shooting for the big screen project.
"I want to look physically strong and capable of doing the stunts. Hindi ko naman aim ang sobrang payat, I just want to get fit and look healthy on screen," she said in a television interview.
Soberano also hit the gym the day after it was confirmed by ABS-CBN that she will take on the role of the iconic Filipino super heroine character.
Her personal fitness trainer Bok Santos shares several photos of the actress work up a sweat.
"Lilipad na si DARNA! Salamat ako ang napiling mag train kay Liza Soberano," wrote Santos.
According to the actress, she will undergo different fitness training in preparation for the role.
"Nag functional training ako which is working out in the gym lang, nagpapalakas and then eventually I'll have stunt training, dance workshop para sa timing and also gracefulness para gumalaw," she said.
Aside from the gym, the actress will also have acting and dialogue workshops in the coming months.
Soberano confirmed on Tuesday, May 30, that she will portray the famous Mars Ravelo comic character "Darna".
She will join the list of stars who portrayed the most coveted role, including Nanette Medved, Anjanette Abayari, Marian Rivera, Angel Loscin, Megastar Sharon Cuneta and Star for All Seasons Vilma Santos among others. (SunStar Philippines)
