Erik Matti slammed netizens who twisted his words and accused him of not wanting Liza Soberano to play the role of the Pinay superhero, Darna.
In a Tweet, the director said, "Mahirap magpaliwanag sa mga taong di marunong magbasa at makaintindi."
In an interview with Ricky Lo, Erik clearly explained his thoughts and the actress of his preference when Liza Soberano backed out of the role.
He said, “After Liza, I only see Nadine Lustre so far as someone who can be Darna. Very sultry. She has a lot of female sensuality and at the same time still looks tough and very Filipina. The key to casting Darna has always been someone who can look plain and ordinary in her Narda alter ego but can be tough, spunky, and can be very sexy as well when she transforms to Darna. Nadine can look all of that.”
The director also consoled Liza when she had to withdraw from filming the movie.
