A 20-year-old mystery about to be dismantled
Since the first Halo title in 2001, games from Bungie and 343 Industries have refrained from revealing the face of the franchise’s protagonist. PreviouslyHalo players only got a glimpse of Master Chief’s eyes and the back of his headand only if you had completed Halo 4 on the hardest “Legendary” difficulty.
The producer, who is also a fan of video games, admitted that she was aware that it wasa moment that the studios had pushed back for 20 years. However, she maintains that this is an essential step for the audience to create a stronger connection with the character.
For those in the mood for spoilers, we already know which actor will play the armored colossus. This is Pablo Schreiber, which you may have already seen in American Gods or Orange is the New Black.
