While the KathNiel love team of
Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla remains one of the most recognizable
romantic tandems in Philippine showbiz, nowadays the two have not been seen
together much in any film or TV production. Their last movie together was “The
Hows of Us” from Star Cinema back in 2018, and last year was all but dominated
by “Hello, Love, Goodbye” where Kathryn was paired cross-network with Alden
Richards. When are the KathNiel fans going to get their fix once more? A series
of photos recently taken suggests that the two are already filming their movie
comeback, and for an unexpected genre too.
The Manila Bulletin reports that Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel
Padilla have been spotted doing what is most likely their comeback project on
the big screen. This was seen in photos from kathniel_teamsolid on Instagram,
of a location shooting in what appears to be a commercial area. The very
interesting thing was that the genre appears not to be another romantic story
or even a rom-com, but rather a movie with action sequences. That would explain
why in the picture, KathNiel were dressed more ruggedly – Bernardo was wearing
a utilitarian black tank top and military-green pants, and a fall-cushion was
pictured.
Another clue that this film being
shot is an action movie would be the presence of a veteran Filipino action
star, Rez Cortez himself. True, Cortez has been prominent in some dramatic
supporting roles on both film and television lately, on Viva Films and GMA7
respectively. But old enough fans would remember him primarily as a regular action
film bad guy. If all indications are as it is, then this will be something to
watch out for, especially as it confirms that while Kathryn said in 2019 that
she and Daniel were interested in taking solo projects sometimes that does not
mean they would go out of the way not to star in productions together.
Bernardo and Padilla’s tandem
comeback is very likely to encompass both cinematic and television. If the
above is the movie return of their love team, then the tele-serye comeback on
ABS-CBN could be just as exciting. Rumors from 2019 speculated that such a
project could shoot its first few episodes abroad, much like LizQuen’s ongoing “Make
It With You” which was partly shot in Croatia.
