Pablo Schreiber will be playing Spartan and Earth’s overall hero, Master Chief, in the highly anticipated Halo adaptation on Paramount+. Recently, Schreiber sat down with Comicbook.com and spoke about his experiences playing the character on the set. He also spoke on what seems to be a growing fad for streaming shows lately: the removal of the helmet. Indeed, Master Chief will be the next character to pull this off in the upcoming series. Schreiber previously spoke on removing his helmet but was asked to elaborate more about the moment.
Master Chef Isn’t the Only Character Who is Known for Helmets

This point rings out loud for viewers of Disney + especially. Over the past few seasons in the Star Wars spin-offs, The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, the decision was made to have the main characters Din Djarin and Boba Fett, respectively, either remove their helmet or be seen for an extended period of time without it. Those characters represent a race of warriors, The Mandalorians, who must keep their helmets on until they choose to reveal themselves, in which case they cannot identify as one of the legendary warriors anymore. This is only half true for Boba Fett though, as he doesn’t fully identify with the warrior race. This point leads back to Halo. The franchise, spawned by a video game that has now turned into other forms of media, features Master Chief, a Spartan warrior who is not known for showing much skin either.

As mentioned above, the Mandalorians have rules. Schreiber continued on the Spartans’ rule of thumb regarding helmets.
Halo finally drops on Paramount+ on March 24th. You can check out Schreiber as Master Chief, and Jen Taylor will be reprising her role from the video games as the voice of Cortana.
