I hope Master Chief isn't in a movie at all. Let's face it, he's a very two-dimensional character. The same could be said for many, if not all the spartans in the series. Honestly, I wouldn't care if I didn't see them at all, but that's not likely to happen. I'll settle for no MC.
I think it would be best if a movie mostly had new characters, rather than existing ones from the series. Like I say, characters have never been the series' strong point.
I think the most important thing, though, is that whoever directs it is given a good deal of creative control. 343/Bungie might know what gamers want in terms of a plot, but a movie wouldn't be made just for them. It has to appeal to people who don't even play video games, and I think in this case the director knows better how to make the film a commercial success.
Not even as a cameo?
Imagine, our marine protagonist is in a bind somewhere near the Silent Cartographer. His commanding officer ONI spook action girl (herself a cooler expy of Dare) is busy fending off an Elite or something. Two grunts close in on our Corporal, more than ready to gnaw on our unhelmeted protagonist's fleshy face! Our hero dives for a shotgun, misses. Suddenly, a shadow large enough to cover the marine and the grunts falls over the scene. Citizen Kane vision kicks in, and pans onto the iconic powered armor we know and love.
Neck snaps ensue.
Our ONI spook just smirks as she finishes off the Elite. All is going just as planned for her.
They hang out with the Chief for a bit, Cortana provides some infodump. The squad leaves just in time for some Flood foreshadowing, as they ship out to go explore the catacombs of Alpha Halo. Hells yeah!
