Exclusive: 'Popeye the Sailor Man' Live-Action Movie in Development

Chernin Entertainment and King Features are developing a live-action ‘Popeye the Sailor Man’ movie.

According to Variety, the film’s script is penned by Michael Caleo (‘Sexy Beast,’ ‘The Family,’ ‘The Sopranos’) and will have a big budget.

In 2024, Popeye celebrated his 95th anniversary, marking nearly a century since his debut in the 1929 comic “Thimble Theater,” created by Elzie Crisler Segar. Popeye is a strong sailor famous for his spinach-powered strength and frequent clashes with his rival, Bluto. The 1980 film “Popeye,” starring Robin Williams in the titular role and Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl, was the first live-action adaptation in decades.

According to fans, Dwayne Johnson was suggested as a perfect fit for the Popeye character. However, nothing has been confirmed yet, and this remains just a rumor. We anticipate an update soon.

It has been 40 years since the release of the ‘Popeye’ live-action film. Now, a new ‘Popeye’ film will introduce the character to a new generation who may be unfamiliar with him.

Is There a Release Date for the New ‘Popeye the Sailor Man’ Movie?

As of now, the director and cast for the upcoming ‘Popeye the Sailor Man’ film have not been announced. Filming is set to begin in early 2025, with the movie scheduled for release in theaters in 2025.
