"Popeye" to Return to the Big Screen! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 09-25-2009, 09:25 AM

Yesterday we keyed you in on some updates regarding a whole slew of Marvel properties from Ghost Rider to Daredevil. Well within that Variety article was a lot of information thrown around concerning all the reboots of franchises and tying most of them back to Marvel Studios founder and chief creative officer of Marvel Entertainment, Avi Arad. The guy has had his hands in all Marvel productions, but a little tidbit that almost went overlooked regarding a project Arad is working on outside of the Marvel universe: "Arad has also secured rights to make a CGI animated feature based on the venerable strongman Popeye."

It'll have to be better than the 1980 live-action movie (as long as it doesn't
feature any songs by Harry Nillson!).

It won't.
