Nicolas Cage's Spider-Noir Has Dropped Its First Official Looks, And They Confirm One Big Hope I've Been Having For The Spider-Man Series

There are two things to look forward to on the live-action Spider-Man front. In one corner, Spider-Man: Brand-New Day begins filming soon and is slated for a summer 2026 release, continuing the adventures of Tom Holland's Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In another corner, we have the Prime Video series Spider-Noir, which stars Nicholas Cage as an older, grizzled version of the Web-Slinger who's active in 1930s New York. The first official image and a teaser from the latter project is finally here, and they've confirmed one big hope I've been having for the upcoming TV show: that it's entirely black and white.
First, check out the image that was shared during Amazon's annual upfronts presentation of Spider-Noir's title hero. This will be Cage's second time portraying Spider-Man Noir, having previously voiced him in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse:
One of the main things that can dictate if a superhero costume looks good in live-action is how faithful it is to the original look from the comics. Well, mission accomplished here, because this looks like Spider-Man Noir was ripped directly from the printed page and into real life. I'm especially into the texture of the mask Nicolas Cage's character is wearing in the Prime Video subscription-exclusive series, and the goggles are also superb.
Now, immediately after I saw this Spider-Noir picture, I was hoping that the black and white was not just a stylistic choice, and that the series itself would be lacking in color. Thankfully, this was confirmed to be the case not long after, as you'll see in the below teaser video:
This teaser doesn't really reveal anything that we already knew about Spider-Noir from various announcements and reports, but I'm definitely digging the show's vibe and aesthetic. Most importantly, it was wise for Prime Video to go black and white for this show instead of color. It's a fitting choice for the 1930s setting and its, well, noir tone. At the very least, this helps Spider-Noir visually stand out from other superhero TV shows.
It hasn't been clarified yet if the Spider-Man Noir Nicolas Cage is playing is Peter Parker or will go by another name. Regardless, when we meet him, he'll be a down-on-his-luck private investigator who's put his past as NYC's only superhero behind him, but something will spur him back into costumed action. Cage's co-stars include Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson (who's reportedly playing the main villain), Abraham Popoola, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez and Jack Huston, among others.
Spider-Noir will debut on Prime Video and MGM+ sometime in 2026, with Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot serving as its co-showrunners and executive producers. Meanwhile, if you're looking to enjoy other Spider-Man movies and TV shows, break out your Disney+ subscription to see what's available on that platform.

You can finally play Fortnite on iPhone again — but you won't want to without this mobile gadget
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After years of legal battles, from today, Fortnite is finally back on iOS and iPadOS, and it has already become the number one free game on the App Store! That shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering Fortnite is one of the most popular games in the world, across PC, console, and now mobile. This huge win for Fortnite fans is the result of a lawsuit Epic Games has been waging against Apple since 2020, following the game's ejection from the App Store after developer Epic Games subverted Apple's payment system for in-app purchases. However, earlier this month, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Apple must allow app developers the opportunity to use third-party payment systems — even if that means Apple misses out on a share of the profits. As a result, Fortnite has finally returned to iPhones and iPads (despite several hiccups along the way). But before you jump into a match, you might want to check out one game-changing gadget that's so good it feels like a cheat code, taking my mobile gaming experience to the next level. See also: Best Apple deals in May 2025 Mobile gaming isn't always the best experience, especially if you're used to PC or console. Touch screen controls lack the precision of a controller or keyboard and mouse. Luckily, I've been using a fantastic accessory that has transformed my mobile gaming experience, and might just be the key to getting more wins in Fortnite on your iPhone. That accessory would be the Razer Kishi Ultra. I initially picked up this controller to see how the iPad Mini 7 fared with mobile games, but I've been using it on a near-daily basis for weeks now with my phone, too. In fact, I just finished a complete playthrough of Death's Door on Android with the Kishi Ultra, and it was hands-down the best mobile gaming experience I've ever had. Mobile gaming, console controls The Razer Kishi Ultra is the ultimate mobile controller, featuring fantastically clicky buttons, responsive sticks and triggers, a robust app, and even customizable RGB light strips. It's a stellar controller in its own right, but also the perfect accessory to take your mobile gaming experience to a new level. It's compatible with iPhones and Android phones with USB-C charging ports, and even the iPad Mini 7! View Deal With Fortnite back on iOS, it's the perfect time to try out the Kishi Ultra for yourself. You could connect any old Xbox or PlayStation controller to your phone and get vastly better precision and gameplay than using the touch controls. But if you want the best experience, the Kishi Ultra simply can't be beat. For years, I used an Xbox controller with my phone and iPad. It worked, but the ergonomics leave a lot to be desired, and lugging around a separate controller is not exactly ideal for gaming on the go. Thankfully, the Razer Kishi Ultra clips securely around your phone, plugging into the USB Type-C charging port, for a form factor that's a lot like a handheld gaming PC. It's much easier to hold and travel with compared to the Frankenstein setup of a regular controller with a phone stand. You may be thinking, why shell out $149 for the Kishi Ultra over a less expensive Backbone controller with a similar design? A few reasons. First, the Kishi Ultra is a physically larger controller than the Backbone, with sculpted grips that feel very similar to a traditional controller, making it a much better fit for folks with larger hands (or anyone who values quality ergonomics). The Kishi Ultra also has much better quality buttons and sticks than most mobile controllers, as Razer uses the same hardware found in its premium PC and console controllers. Plus, the Razer Nexus app allows you to connect to cloud gaming services so you aren't forced to go through a browser (you can also use Nexus to view all your mobile games and customize the Kishi's RGB). All of that to say, the best Fortnite experience comes via a controller-like experience, and the best one you can buy right now is the Razer Kishi Ultra. If you haven't been following mobile gaming in the past several years since Fortnite's exile began, you may be wondering if it's even worth playing on mobile anymore. After all, aren't most mobile games little more than shovelware bloated with micro-transactions? Not anymore. Fortnite's return is incredibly well-timed and lands squarely amid a rising tide of great games arriving on mobile from other platforms. Netflix Gaming has ported over dozens of fantastic games, like Death's Door and Hades, that you can play on your phone for no extra charge if you're a Netflix subscriber. There's also Apple Arcade, which is introducing mobile versions of games like Disney Dreamlight Valley. Plenty of great indie games are also available on mobile, like Dredge, Stardew Valley, Wildfrost, Dead Cells, and even Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. We're even starting to see AAA games make their way to mobile, like Assassin's Creed Mirage. There's truly never been a better time to get into mobile gaming. Sure, there are still countless low-quality games filled with ads (and little else) flooding the mobile gaming space. But more and more diamonds are appearing in the rough. With certain App Store restrictions gone, there's a strong chance we'll see even more great games arrive on mobile in the months and years ahead. Whether you're new to gaming, looking for an affordable way to game, or just want some fun titles to play on the go, now is the time to see what mobile gaming has to offer. I spent a week gaming on the iPad Mini 7 — is it a handheld gaming PC rival? I spent a week trying to Master Chief parenting with Backbone's Xbox mobile controller. Here's what went wrong. App Store rule change takes the headache out of buying books on iOS Kindle app

Why Apple's next macOS might signal a shift. Here's why
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is more than a week away, and as always with each event, the company has a lot to show off. One of the big news items that could be coming during the show is the changing of the naming conventions for the Apple operating systems for its devices. These OS versions are numbered based on how many iterations have been released since the device's launch, but instead of continuing with separate version numbers, Apple will reportedly number all OS versions by the year they come out, such as iOS 26. This means the new version of macOS would be called macOS 26 if this rumor is true. And according to a new report, the next theme for the next macOS will be a bit of a departure for Apple. The next macOS will be named Tahoe, as in Lake Tahoe, as reported by Bloomberg. Apple names its macOS after different locations found in California, but Lake Tahoe straddles California and Nevada, which is a little different for the Mac maker. This new macOS will reportedly be a major redesign for the OS. Apple makes some significant changes to its OS every few years, with the last major redesign coming in 2020 with macOS Big Sur. Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for confirmation. WWDC is all about software, making it the time for Apple to show what's changing for iOS, watchOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Of those different operating systems, iPadOS seems to be up for some big changes. It appears Apple wants to make its tablet more like its MacBook in both look and functionality. AI will have a presence at WWDC across the different OS, but it seems like it might not be as big of a deal at the show as it was for Google at its I/O event and Microsoft with its Build event. Apple is still working on improving its Apple Intelligence and looking to release an overhauled Siri that acts like an AI agent. Something new for Apple at WWDC could be video games. The company recently acquired a game developer studio and may announce a new gaming app at the show. Legendary Apple designer has been tasked with the impossible — what is OpenAI and Jony Ive's next move?
