Casting Live-Action Popeye For The New Movie: 10 Actors Who Could Follow Robin Williams

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With an upcoming live-action Popeye movie in the works, there are plenty of Hollywood actors who could step into Robin Williams’ shoes and portray the strong-armed, spinach-eating sailor man.

The Australian actor Hugh Jackman already proved himself capable of embodying an iconic comic book character in Jackon’s long-running role as Wolverine from X-Men and would surely excel as the strong-armed sailor man known as Popeye. If the upcoming live-action Popeye decided to mimic the musical stylings of the 1980 version, Jackson has already shown himself an incredible musical star in Les Misérables and The Greatest Showman.

7 Jack Black Jack Black would bring a likable energy to the part of Popeye Close If the latest adaptation of Popeye wished to go over the top in its characterization of the world’s most famous sailor man, then Jack Black is the perfect man for the job. With a likable quality and impressive comedic skill, Black has the musical talent to exceed Robin Williams in the earlier Popeye adaptation and could bring real heart to what, at its core, will likely be a love story between Popeye and Olive Oly.

5 Dwyane Johnson Dwayne Jonhson is already the real-life embodiment of a post-spinach eating Popeye In the Variety announcement about the live-action Popeye movie, references were made to fan-made trailers that featured Popeye “as a castaway warrior with Dwayne Johnson proportions,” considering this, Johnson may be the perfect choice to play the fast-fighting ferryman.

2 Charlie Day Charlie Day would commit entirely to the role of Popeye Close In his role as Charlie Kelly in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Charlie Day exhibited great skill at over-the-top comedy, intense characterization, and impressive musical prowess, all of which would contribute greatly to an upcoming Popeye movie.
