More than four decades after the first attempt, a new live-action adaptation of Popeye the Sailor Man is on the way, but few details are available. Created by illustrator Elzie Crisler Segar in 1929, Popeye became an instant hit in the King Features comic strips, and quickly blossomed into a pop culture icon akin to the likes of Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse. The typical Popeye adventure involves the musclebound sailor powering up thanks to his high-spinach diet, and fighting off various villains that threaten his family.
