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. Originally based on a comic character created in 1929, Robert Altman’s 1980 Popeye movie starred Williams’ as Popeye, and Shelley Duval as a perfectly cast Olive Oly, in a film that received negative reviews upon release but has since gained a cult following and retrospective appreciation. A musical comedy comic book adaptation, Williams’ portrayal of Popeye represented a charming and unique comic adaptation full of heart and slapstick humor.
