Master Chief’s Helmet Is Off Even More In Halo Season 2
The second season of Halo has arrived. For those that were hoping that in Season 2, Master Chief would keep his helmet on more, after unmasking during Season 1 now know that’s simply not going to happen. If anything, Chief is going to take off his helmet more and even spend chunks of episodes in normal civilian clothing. It’s something star Pablo Schreiber has spoken about previously, though he fears his words were misinterpreted and wanted to clear the air.
“There’s a group of people that would prefer that the helmet never came off, right? And yeah, there have been some quotes that have been attributed to me that I don’t think, you know, display my exact words correctly,” he told GameSpot. “And maybe [they] were taken out of context. But just to be clear, you know, I love acting with the helmet. I love and respect helmet acting. And there’s obviously been many great examples of it from The Mandalorian to Star Wars and many successful versions of it.”
Pointing out The Mandalorian is an interesting tactic, given that the Star Wars series on Disney+ does unmask its titular character, but only for larger series moments. When his helmet comes off, you know something big is about to happen. Of course, it also helps film the series, even when star Pedro Pascal isn’t there to wear the helmet.
