In the 2003 remake of "Captain Barbell" by Premiere Productions starring Ogie Alcasid and Bong Revilla, Regine Velasquez made a cameo appearance in a dream sequence as Darna which she reprised in her concert tour "The Singer and the Songwriter" the following year. The singer subsequently visited the U.S. as part of the tour, with one of the performance numbers had her wearing a two-piece Darna costume while singing the songs from the "Captain Barbell" film. Ogie Alcasid (who played Barbell's alter ego Enteng dubbed as the songwriter) accompanied her and wore the Captain Barbell costume during their song number. Like Cuneta, Velasquez was supposed to portray Darna in her own full-length film but it was cancelled as well.
