Janella Salvador has been cast as the superhero’s arch-nemesis Valentina in the upcoming Darna: the TV Series, ABS-CBN announced on Friday, November 19.

Janella’s Valentina is a lawyer and vlogger cursed with venomous snakes for hair. She will be co-starring alongside Jane de Leon, who is playing the titular superhero.
