In 2025, some characters will enter the public domain. They will then be free for all to use. Just like Winnie The Pooh, some film maker made a slasher show. Popeye the Sailor and Tintin will be free agents in 2025. Anyone can create new story with these characters. How would you feel to have Tintin in new story? And the writer can do it in a different style that can either make or break the character. Right now, Popeye and Tintin will enter the Public Domain on Jan 1 2025.
