Amazon reportedly plans to make a Spider-Man Noir series

Amazon has supposedly greenlit a live-action Spider-Man Noir series. The show will reportedly focus on "an older, grizzled superhero in 1930s New York City." This alternate version of the web-slinging hero first debuted in the 2009 Marvel comic series of the same name. The comic was set in 1933 as a freshly bitten Spidey navigates New York City's Depression-era criminal underworld. It's unclear if Nicolas Cage, who voiced the character in the 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, will come back for the movie. But the actor has said he wasn't asked to return for the upcoming animated sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

This series will be the second Sony-controlled Marvel project to come to Amazon after the upcoming Silk: Spider Society. Oren Uziel will write and executive-produce the show, with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse alumni Phil Lord, Amy Pascal, and Christopher Miller.

OnePlus continues to grow its portfolio beyond phones and other mobile devices. Aside from launching the OnePlus 11 and OnePlus Buds Pro 2, and teasing the OnePlus Pad, the company also introduced its upcoming OnePlus Featuring Keyboard 81 Pro. It might seem like a clunky name, but the OnePlus Featuring name is what the brand calls those coming out of its co-creation platform. It worked with well-known mechanical keyboard maker Keychron to bring the 81 Pro to life.

The wireless Keyboard 81 Pro has a similar layout to Keychron's Q1 Pro and features a CNC aluminum body with a specialized double gasket. You can pick between red linear or blue clicky switches, but they're hot-swappable so you can customize your typing experience further with other switches.

The first OnePlus Pad is arriving soon, so the company deemed it alright to start talking about its tablet now. It packs in some decent specs that it might be considered a worthy buy, but we'd have to find out what the price point is first to make that statement true. It gets an 11.6-inch display with an unusual 7:5 aspect ratio paired with a speedy 144Hz refresh rate. It might be easier to grip with its "2.5D" edge and a central camera hump that you'll less likely cover with your fingers. For entertainment lovers, this tablet gets Dolby Atmos audio.

Aside from launching its new phone, OnePlus also showed off its new OnePlus Buds Pro 2. Off the bat, its unique feature is it's the first pair of earbuds to support Android 13's official spatial audio feature. This implementation is compatible with content from services like Disney+ and YouTube videos. If you have the OnePlus 11, you can expect Dolby Atmos support with head tracking.

OnePlus promises studio-like sound with dual drivers that include an 11mm woofer and 6mm tweeter and are co-developed with Dynaudio. It also supports LHDC 4.0 Bluetooth, which it promises is close to wired fidelity. If the typical equalizers aren't to your liking, composer Hans Zimmer created his EQ for these buds. Soundscape emphasizes brighter tones and wider soundstages of movie soundtracks, so if you're a big fan of that, you may like this.
