Master Chief is set to make his acting debut, and it will be a pretty spectacular one, after selling 82 million games worldwide.
The new trailer for the Halo series, which will be released on Paramount+ and is produced by Showtime, 343 Industries, and Amblin Entertainment, debuted during the NFL’s AFC Championship game on Sunday. The Covenant, an extraterrestrial, attacks a hamlet in the new trailer before Master Chief and his team discover a weapon known as a Halo.
“Cortana, I’m gonna need you now,” Master Chief says at the end of the dramatic clip. “Find the Halo, win the war.”
Chief’s origins, as well as that of other Spartans, are teased in the trailer, as they are imagined by the United Nations Space Command. Pablo Schreiber, Natascha McElhone, Jen Taylor, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, and other actors appear in the series.
