As a fan of Popeye, please don't. Johnson's more suited to play Space Ace or Johnny Bravo. Popeye is a thin, diminutive character. Get Daniel Radcliffe or Martin Freeman.

I could see Jason Statham with prosthetic arms. Easily.

I have no interest in another live action movie. I am still mad we lost that animated movie for the Emoji movie.
