While i know thats the classic style for the Ranger, it does look a bit cheap and/or boring next
to Depps "souped up" version of Tonto. I like the look of the Ranger but yeah, next to Depp its very contrary.
Mabey thats the point..
I'll see it. More

So, is Depp essentially blacking up for this role?
ah, he's half Cherokee and Navajo or something. He played a Native American in the hugely under-appreciated The Brave a few years back.
e's not even close to half native american. His says his great-grandmother was "part cherokee". More

Wow. Reminds me of The Simpsons episode where they're at the cinema and Lisa complains about inaccuracies in some period pice and Bart tells her to keep quiet because the ninja's are coming.
Anyway, I was hoping this would't be the worlds oldest hipster playing Jack Sparrow again but I shouldn't have hoped.
I used to love Depp, but his by the numbers brand of 'wackiness' is wearing thin, and this sort of Bruckheimer bombast isn't what I am looking for from my westerns. E More

What I can see of the costume fits in with the little that I know - and I'm sure Depp knows quite a bit more.

Captain Jackish. Seeing as who's producing, I'm sure there'll be a fair bit of past-successes getting recycled. Also, I remember Depp saying he was going to be doing something that would be respectful to his heritage...I know it's one photo but I'm sensing a turn from the Mickey Rooney school of foreign stereotypes.

| RE: Come now Empire readers - you are behaving like AICN trolls |
I'd have thought the odd Saville Row type crispness of Hammer's costume was more the issue - I can't really see anything wrong with Depp's.
But Lone Ranger and werewolves sounds like the same idiot thought process that matches columns together to get Cowboys and Aliens, period pieces and zombies and possibly Lincoln and vampires. With a director who couldn't see what was going wrong with his POTC series and the bad writers who helped him drag them down. It's fair to say criticising based More

| Come now Empire readers - you are behaving like AICN trolls |
slamming a movie just a few days in production based on one photo.
Why not do a bit of research into the culture of the Indian tribes that Depp is representing. Or do you think that Indians all wore buckskins and said "um" and "how" all the time.
Obviously the filmmaker are avoiding the campiness of previous Lone Ranger outings by changing the costumes - in particular the blue shirt and white trousers that were made from the same material as the Mexican peasant costumes More

And I even had the action figures!
And I'm wondering what music they'll have...
Will it be the William Tell Overture of old? Or will they opt for a new take?
Like the new look and thankfully the Ranger isn't in his old style powder blue duds.
