Johnny Depp Is The Lone Ranger
He came strolling out onto the stage wearing his full Captain Jack Sparrow costume from Pirates of the Caribbean AND he was wearing the mask of The Lone Ranger as well!
Depp confirmed that he has indeed signed on for both Jerry Bruckheimer's The Lone Ranger and Pirates of the Caribbean 4 to boot.
UPDATE: Disney has just confirmed that Depp in fact is officially signed on to play Tonto in the The Lone Ranger film and not the The Lone Ranger himself.
We'll have more on these amazing developments as soon as more information comes through from this event.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was released May 20th, 2011 and stars Johnny Depp, Penélope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush, Ian McShane, Kevin McNally, Sam Claflin, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Stephen Graham. The film is directed by Rob Marshall.
The Lone Ranger comes to theaters July 3rd, 2013 and stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Armie Hammer, William Fichtner, Tom Wilkinson, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, James Frain. The film is directed by Gore Verbinski.

@Ironfist - yeah, Hugh Jackman - would make a cool Lone Ranger. Too bad Clint Eastwood's not in his prime, hell id watch anything with Clint Eastwood in it.

This is awesome news. The Pirates trilogy was awesome (much better on DVD when you can watch them back to back).
As for the LR, they will probably have to cast an unknown actor for the role with a high profile star like depp as the "sidekick". Depp as clooney's sidekick sounds about as exciting as Clooney-O'Donnell. man i hope they're smart in casting TLR.

Well I hope it doesn't become a final decision. For the Lone Ranger I would cast from Patrick Wilson, Hugh Jackman, Keanu Reeves, Colin Farrell, Christian Bale, or Matt Damon... Either way you look at it-Johnny Depp being in it is going to cause the film to gross a few hundred million dollars in the opening weekend.

I guess i would go with depp as tonto over clooney as the lone ranger...i'd prefer neither, though ha

POTC3 had a lot of negative responses because it was different from the others and had too many plots. It was good, I bought all three dvds because this has to be one of my favorite film series-aside from The Matrix, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones and others. For the whole Lone Ranger flick, I'm not to happy with fact that Clooney is TLR or is possibly, I haven't been up to date but its cool that Depp, with all his Hollywood status is play a supporting role after POTC and Sweeney Todd thats admirable, but I'm still not big on Clooney as TLR

I've got a question for you VIS, would you rather have Depp as Tonto, or Clooney as The Lone Ranger? -.^

POTC3 wasn't nearly as good as the 1 and 2, but it was still good, and epic. Just got weird.

I don't know why everyone's always dissing on "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End." I loved that movie. It was awesome.

Pirates of the Caribbean was a on/off thing since the release of "At World's End". Johnny is a weird guy...lo
