| Will Smith Height: Is the Popular Actor Set to Play Popeye in Live-Action Movie? Speculation of a live-action adaptation of the Popeye franchise has continued to rise since it was first announced back in 2024. With Will Smith's towering 6'2" height, fans have begun to wonder if the popular actor could be in the running for the iconic sailor man role. The live-action movie has been shrouded in mystery since its announcement, with no official confirmation as to who will be playing the Popeye character. Although Smith has not made any official announcements, his height, coupled with his acting background, make him a likely contender for the role. Smith is no stranger to playing iconic characters, having starred as Genie in the live-action adaptation of Aladdin in 2019 and as the Deadshot in Suicide Squad in 2016. Both roles showcased Smith's diversity as an actor, successfully transitioning between intellectually demanding roles and animated characters. It's still too early to tell whether or not Smith will indeed be playing the Popeye role in 2024. However, given Smith's past performances and tall stature, it's not difficult to see why his name is being thrown around for the iconic character. Fans can only hope that the rumors are true and that the actor will be donning Popeye's trademark sailor cap and pipe in the upcoming movie. |
