Manila Times - Half-Filipino entertainer Nicole Scherzinger recently agreed to star in a superhero movie with boxer Manny Pacquiao, Solar Entertainment announced Tuesday.
Wilson Tieng, president of Solar Entertainment, said in statement that the film was currently under the working title Wapacman and was aimed to debut at the Metro Manila Film Festival, which is normally held during the Christmas holidays. Tieng will produce the film.
In the movie, Pacquiao plays the role of a single father who is suddenly imbued with super powers, and Scherzinger will be his leading lady. Tieng added that there was a possibility of including star professional wrestler Dave Batista, a Filipino-Greek, in the cast.
In interviews held during her visit, she revealed her admiration for Filipino Tony Award winner Lea Salonga as well as a number of other Filipino talents currently prominent in the States. She also expressed her desire to sing the Philippine National Anthem for Pacquiao’s upcoming bouts saying that he is her inspiration.
Should Wapacman push through, it will be the first film where Scherzinger would play a lead role.
