Meet Victor Magtanggol

WANT to know more about GMA’s newest fantaserye, “Victor Magtanggol?”

The lineup of GMA’s upcoming shows for the month of July was revealed through GMA Drama’s Facebook page last Thursday. It included a teaser of the much-awaited adventure series, “Victor Magtanggol” headlined by Pambansang Bae Alden Richards.

The teaser begins with a conversation between seasoned actress Coney Reyes and child actor Yuan Francisco inside a living room.

Francisco describes his favorite superhero to Reyes, who plays his grandmother.

“Ang astig niya po Lola at ang tindi ng powers. Kung saan saan po siya nakakalipad at kung sino sino po ang nakakalaban niya,” Francisco says as Richards in full costume is shown battling his nemesis portrayed by John Estrada. With them is Andrea Torres, who wears a predominantly blue costume and blonde wig.

Reyes then asks the young boy, “Sino naman ‘yang superhero na ‘yan?”

Francisco is about to answer Richards arrives and hushes him.

“Victor Magtanggol” is Richards’ comeback in GMA primetime after last year’s “Destined To Be Yours” which he headlined with Phenomenal Star Maine Mendoza.

Richards had to undergo parkour training as part of his preparations in the series.

As a superhero, Victor Magtanggol will have his own hammer.

He wears a mask and a black costume which netizens have compared to the costume of Thor, the God of Lightning and Thunder in Norse Mythology.

GMA Network has yet to announce the rest of the cast but behind-the-scenes photos taken by fans show Richards taping scenes with Kapuso actress Janine Gutierrez.
