Badass Digest (in case you missed the watermark) came across this pic of Johnny Depp posing for a picture with a fan on the set of The Lone Ranger. As you can see he looks a bit different from the previous official image we saw, due largely to the fact that he doesn't have a dead bird on his head. Although that was in keeping with how the Native American Crow tribe would sometimes dress, it seemed to irk a lot of fans. Well, those worried about being distracted by Tonto's head-bird can relax, if this pic is anything to go by he won't be walking around like that for the whole movie at least..
Left for dead in an ambush with five other Texas Rangers, lawman John Reid (Armie Hammer) survives and is nursed back to health by an Indian scout named Tonto (Johnny Depp). He then dons a mask to avenge the murders of his comrades and to foil evildoers, never accepting payment for his services. His gratis vigilantism is made possible by the silver mine he inherits from his slain brothers - the same mine that affords him his endless supply of trademark silver bullets.
The Lone Ranger hits theaters May 31, 2013. The film stars Armie Hammer as The Lone Ranger and Johnny Depp as Tonto. Also starring in the movie: Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper and Timothy Hutton.
