Remember back in January after seeing Agent X44 I suggested that actor Vhong Navarro would be perfect to play Lastikman if they ever made another movie about the local superhero (click here to read the article again)?
Well, it’s not going to be a movie…but a TV series. Guess who’s playing Lastikman?
Do I know how to call them or what?
Check the trailer out here.
These are my webcomics!

I’m not really familiar with the Lastikman character. How big is he in Philippine comics?
Oops, I mean, I know who Lastikman is, but how important is he locally?
Rico: Lastikman is one of our classic characters created by Mars Ravelo. Certainly not as big as say, Darna or Panday, but he’s up there in the pantheon of local superheroes.
Hmmm… I barely know anything about Mars Ravelo (hint hint).
More info can be had on Mars Ravelo here (http://marsravelodarna.tripod.com/id15.html) and here (http://lambiek.net/artists/r/ravelo_mars.htm).
Maybe you really have a gift of precognition and you just realized it now.
Vhong is really perfect as Lastikman. I know Vic Sotto was the first but he’s really too old. He was just lucky that he got the Ravelo’s nod first.
Jon: The gift of precognition? I wish. If I did I’d play the stock market. Ha ha ha!
I think Vic Sotto isn’t the FIRST Lastikman to play in a movie…can’t remember who was the actor but I’ve seen the old black and white movie when I was a young kid.
Any idea, Jonas about the actor who played the first Lastikman?

Ed: It was Von Serna, Snooky’s dad (I think).
