New Poster for the Upcoming HALO Series Puts the Focus on Master Chief

Posted byHobby admin

Paramount+ has released a new character poster for the highly-anticipated Halo series, and this one puts the focus on Master Chief, who’s played by Pablo Schreiber. This character is such a badass, and it’s exciting that we are going to get to see his story told in the form of a live-action series.

The series follows the “epic 26th-century conflict between humanity and an alien threat known as the Covenant, Halo the series will weave deeply drawn personal stories with action, adventure and a richly imagined vision of the future.” It was also previously revealed that the show is set in what is called “the Silver Timeline.”

Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber) is Earth’s most advanced warrior and “the only hope of salvation for a civilization pushed to the brink of destruction by the Covenant, an unstoppable alliance of alien worlds committed to the destruction of humanity.”

The series will also see Master Chief remove his helmet, and he will show his face for the first time. When talking about that, Halo producer Kiki Wolfkill explained, “I think we set out to tell a character story and a personal story. And once we really got into what that story was, it became clear that you really needed to see the person in the armor and under the helmet.”

Wolfkill went on to say, “For some people, it’s been a moment 20 years in the making, and for other people it is something that feels very hard to imagine. We absolutely respect both sides of that fence, those who really want to see Chief’s face and those who really don’t. But for the nature of this story, it felt really important to connect with the Master Chief in a different way, and that meant showing the face.”

I personally don’t think they should show his face, but we’ll just have to wait and see how the story plays out. The 10-episode series is set to premiere on Paramount+ on March 24th, 2022.
