Popeye the Sailor Man (2026)

Starring: John Cena, Dwayne Johnson

 “The sea didn’t make me tough… it just gave me something worth fighting for!” 

 In Popeye the Sailor Man (2026), rough‑around‑the‑edges harbor tug captain Popeye (John Cena) is the last honest sailor in a crooked mega‑port run by musclebound shipping tycoon Brutus “Bluto” Blackwater (Dwayne Johnson) . When a scrappy dockside community is threatened by Blackwater’s plan to bulldoze their homes and turn the bay into a private luxury marina, Popeye is forced to swap quiet boat runs for all‑out war.

A mysterious crate of experimental super‑spinach lands in his lap, turning his already insane strength into full‑on cartoon chaos—anchor‑swinging brawls, skyscraper‑climbing fistfights and physics‑defying slapstick that leaves cranes twisted like pretzels . Between protecting his quick‑witted love interest Olive and wrangling a crew of misfit sailors, Popeye must out‑punch, out‑smart and out‑heart a villain who has the law, the money and an army of dockyard goons on his side.

Packed with goofy humor, bone‑rattling action, sea‑shanty remixes of the classic theme and a surprisingly sweet message about community and staying true to who you are, Popeye the Sailor Man is a wave‑crashing family blockbuster. 

 Movie rating: 8.9/10 – big, bright, and hilariously over‑the‑top nautical mayhem
