Early reviews are coming in for Halo's upcoming TV series on Paramount+ but elsewhere, we've seen some contentious choices like Cortana's redesign. Now, Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber has responded to fan concerns about John-117 removing his helmet.
Speaking to TechRadar in a recent interview, Schreiber confirmed that while he respects fan opinions, he doesn't agree this is bad. He stated:
Halo TV Series: Pablo Schreiber Calls Master Chief Face Reveal "The Only Choice"
Elaborating further, Schreiber then calls the face reveal decision "the only choice in long form storytelling", telling TechRadar:
It's worth remembering that Halo's TV series exists in a separate timeline to the games, though it'll largely remain rooted to the established canon. It's not the first time we've seen John-117's face either thanks to Halo: The Fall of Reach, albeit as a child. Halo launches on Paramount+ on March 24, 2022.
