Steve Gan’s eponymous 1981, Ang Panday, a comic centered on a blacksmith destined to defend the Earth from evil with a majestic sword forged from supernatural ore, saw its rise to popularity and continued lifespan over the years. Having segued into a series live-action films, spin-offs and TV shows to date, folks can now expect its return to the big screen with Rodel Nacianceno (best known as Coco Martin) donning the title role for his latest solo debut at the helm from Star Cinema.
Lizardo, the immortal evil nemesis of Panday comes back from the world of darkness to once again bring havoc to the human race. With Flavio III not knowing that his bloodline is the only one capable of destroying Lizardo, he will have to scour different worlds to be able to gain the trust of the mythical power of the legendary sword.
Martin is joined by Jake Cuenca, Gloria Romero and Jaime Fabregas for the film’s upcoming run at the Metro Manila Film Fest next week. Check out the trailer below.
