Popeye movie is coming…in CGI.

Apparently when Marvel acquires projects they intend to do something with them, and thats the case for Popeye. Marvel Head Avi Arad has recently mentioned that they intend to bring Popeye back to the big screen, and I will go out on a limb and say that it will not star Robin Williams, and his forearms will look quite a bit better. We get this from WorstPreviews:

Arad also secured the rights to “Popeye,” in hopes of rebooting that franchise as well. But he won’t go down the same path that the 1980 film, starring Robin Williams, did. He is instead planning to make it a CGI animated feature.

Well there you have it, they are going to go the route of ‘TMNT’ and then will announce a live action one a couple of months after the CGI version comes out. I understand the attraction of CGI, but come on! Give us a real person to look at, and not some animated CGI version of Popeye!
