The live-action Halo TV series is finally coming to Paramount+ this month, and now, the official social media accounts for the show has released a new poster featuring Master Chief (played by Pablo Schreiber). The stylized look of the show's Spartan hero looks accurate to the Master Chief we know from the video games and novels.
The Halo TV series is going to be in a separate timeline to the Xbox/PC video games, and for the first time ever in the history of the franchise, Master Chief's face will be revealed.
During an interview with Ryan McCaffrey as part of IGN Fan Fest, 343 Industries’ Studio Head of Transmedia and Halo's executive producer, Kiki Wolfkill, explained why showing Master Chief's face was important for the story the show will tell.
“I think we set out to tell a character story and a personal story,” she said. “And once we really got into what that story was, it became clear that you really needed to see the person in the armour and under the helmet.”
“You will see his face,” she said. “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.”
