POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN (2025) Live Action Movie
Teaser Trailer – Will Smith, Jason Momoa
Popeye the Sailor Man (2025) is a surprising live-action adaptation of the legendary sailor Popeye, starring Will Smith as Popeye and Jason Momoa as Bluto.
The film follows Popeye’s journey as he returns to his seaside hometown to protect the village from the threat of Bluto, a fierce pirate seeking to seize the land and exploit its hidden treasures. Olive Oyl (played by Margot Robbie), Popeye’s love interest, gets caught in the conflict when Bluto kidnaps her to force Popeye into surrendering everything.
Fueled by his signature can of spinach, Popeye faces extreme challenges both at sea and on land, delivering action-packed and comedic moments. The film promises nostalgia and excitement for audiences as this iconic childhood character comes to life, accompanied by stunning visuals and impressive special effects.
- Plot: A group of young friends, intrigued by local legends, sneak into an abandoned spinach canning factory to shoot a documentary about the “Sailor Man,” a mythical figure said to haunt the factory and nearby docks. They uncover the dark history of Popeye (played by Jason Robert Stephens), a once-kind sailor who, after a tragic betrayal, became a vengeful, supernatural killer. As they explore, Popeye stalks and hunts them with brutal strength, using his environment (chains, pipes, and nautical tools) to dispatch his victims. The survivors must unravel the truth behind his curse to escape.
- Tone: Straightforward slasher horror with gory practical effects, drawing inspiration from Friday the 13th.
- Details: Directed by Robert Michael Ryan, produced by Salem House Films. Expected release in 2025 (no specific date). Criticized for a predictable plot but praised for its campy kills.
- In 1986, Olive Oyl (Amy Mackie) and her friends go camping in a coastal forest to watch a rare meteor shower. A meteor crashes nearby, releasing a strange energy that transforms Popeye (Tony Greer), a reclusive sailor living in the woods, into a monstrous killing machine. Mutated by the meteor’s radiation, Popeye gains unnatural strength and a thirst for blood, hunting the campers with improvised weapons like hatchets and ropes. Olive must rally her friends to outsmart the deranged Popeye, uncovering his connection to the meteor to stop his rampage.
- Tone: Comedy-horror with a sci-fi twist, leaning into absurdity and camp for a lighter take than the other two films.
- Details: Directed by Paul Stephen Mann, produced in the UK. Planned for early 2025 release (no specific date). Described as quirky but niche.
