Showtime gave an exclusive look of leading star Pablo Schreiber donning Master Chief's iconic armor from the Halo series to attendees of the Television Critics Association.
Sadly, the photo will not be made available to the public for some time. Showtime's President of Entertainment Gary Levine confirmed that Schreiber was the man actually wearing the armor in the photo, as opposed to a stunt double.
The photograph shows Master Chief sitting alone on a ship that evokes the personality of the popular science fiction video game franchise. According to IGN, Master Chief's look is meeting expectations of those familiar with the franchise.
The Halo franchise began with Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001. The series, which remains one of the most popular science fiction franchises, primarily follows Master Chief, who is part of a group of elite super soldiers known as Spartans. There have been several main installments of the franchise and many spin-offs, which further broaden the universe. There have also been comics, books, web series and various other media based in the world of Halo.
Halo will release in early 2021. The show stars Pablo Schreiber, Natascha McElhone, Bokeem Woodbine, Bentley Kalu, Kate Kennedy, Natasha Culzac and Shabana Azmi.
