Spider-Man Noir Series Cast Announcement

If you loved Nicolas Cage’s performance as Spider-Man Noir in the Spider-Verse movies, get ready to rejoice! Amazon’s Spider-Man Noir series has been officially ordered and will be available on MGM+ and Amazon Prime Video. Cage will reprise his role, this time in a live-action format.

According to the official logline, the show “tells the story of an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator (Cage) in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero.”

Joining Cage are Brendan Gleeson and Lamorne Morris. Morris will play the editor of the Daily Bugle, but Gleeson’s role remains a mystery. Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Killing Eve) will direct the first two of the eight episodes.

Stay tuned for more updates as the series progresses.

2K’s Bioshock Team Expanding

Cloud Chamber, a 2K Studio, is on the lookout for 29 new team members across various disciplines, including animation, art, and writing.

While details about the upcoming game are sparse, it is set in a “new and fantastical world” during the 1960s in a fictional Antarctic City called Borealis. This fits well with the series’ tradition of exploring extreme environments—first under the sea, then in the sky, and now in the frozen Antarctic.

Expect more updates as development continues.

Watchem - DC Animation Trailer for Part 1

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine II has gone gold

“Gone Gold” means that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II has completed development and is in the final stages before release.
