"What does one do with a superpower you're not sure you can trust?" Microsoft / Ambiln have debuted the full official trailer for the new live-action Halo series, which launches on Paramount+ in March. Developed by Amblin Television, Microsoft Studios, and Showtime Networks; it's showrun by Steven Kane (creator of "The Last Ship", producer on "The Closer" and "American Dad!"). The series' massive ensemble cast features Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, and Jen Taylor as Cortana, plus Natascha McElhone, Yerin Ha, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Olive Gray, Charlie Murphy, Kate Kennedy, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, Danny Sapani, and Ryan McParland. The original Halo game launched for Xbox in 2001, with many sequels along the way. Aliens threaten humanity in an epic 26th-century showdown. This definitely still looks like The Mandalorian but within the Halo universe, that's all fine if it works well. Not exactly the best footage, but better looking than most video game adaptations. Find the Halo, win the war.

Here's the second official trailer for Microsoft's Halo live-action series, direct from Amblin's YouTube:
