Halo<\/em> premiers on Paramount+ next month, and its showrunners have already answered one of the series\u2019\u00a0biggest questions: yes, you will see Master Chief\u2019s face for the first time.<\/p>\n

IGN<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Ryan McCaffery interviewed Halo<\/em>\u2019s cast and creators and when he popped the million-dollar question, the show’s executive producer and 343 Industries Head of Transmedia Kiki Wolfkill confirmed Chief’s face will be shown. She explains it as a storytelling necessity by saying \u201cWe 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. So you will.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolfkill continues by saying \u201cWe absolutely respect both sides of that fence, those who really want to see Chief\u2019s face and those who really don\u2019t. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, given that Pablo Schreiber is portraying Master Chief (who participates in IGN<\/em>\u2019s interview), a quick Google Image search on the actor gives you a good idea of what to expect so Chief’s live-action appearance isn’t\u00a0the biggest secret in the world. It now becomes a question of how often we’ll see his face.\u00a0Will it only be once or twice or will Chief\u00a0pull a Boba Fett and spend half of his screentime unmasked? We’ll have to watch to find out, but for fans declaring this\u00a0decision as sacrilege, you can always take solace in the fact that Halo<\/em> exists in a separate timeline and, thus, is not canon to the main series. That means that the identity of the original Master Chief remains largely preserved (assuming you haven\u2019t read the comics\/books that detail his facial features).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Halo<\/em> premieres on March 24 on Paramount+ and it’s already been renewed for a second season<\/a>.\u00a0You can watch the most recent trailer here<\/a>, though the show is facing opposition due to a lawsuit from Halo\u2019s original composers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
