Pablo Schreiber plays the iconic Master Chief role. McElhone (Designated Survivor, Californication) will play Cortana, the most advanced AI in human history who may be the key to the survival of the human race. Shabana Azmi will play Admiral Margaret Parangosky, the head of the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Says a discernibly pleased Shabana, “It can’t get bigger than this! Asian actors have been fighting for colour blind casting for years .. finally it’s become a reality! This is completely new territory for me. I'm both excited and nervous which is a good place to be in “

Ask how she bagged the part she replies, “It just fell into my lap! I had to give up on two projects I was scheduled to do here but I figured it would be worth it”.
