This week Disney has been releasing new character posters for this summer’s blockbuster The Lone Ranger.
As of today four characters have been posted on the film’s official Tumbler page, including the two title characters, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, and two lesser-known characters, Red (played by Helena Bonham Carter) and Rebecca Reid.
The question of whether Johnny Depp is right for the part of Tonto has been a hot topic in Indian country since the announcement last year. However, we have to admit, these new posters look pretty cool.
The action-packed western opens in theaters July 3.
Meet the cast:
Disney
“Meet John Reid. A Texas lawman whose chance meeting with Comanche warrior, Tonto, sets off a series of events that change him into an enigmatic hero: the masked Lone Ranger. “
Disney
“Meet Tonto. He rides alone in search of the two men responsible for the ruin of his village, until his path crosses with the young lawyer, John Reid.”
Disney
“Meet Red Harrington. The dramatically coiffed, straight-talking, ivory-legged proprietor of a mobile establishment of lavish entertainments.”
Disney
“Meet Rebecca Reid. She’s made for finer things, yet possesses the grit and independence of a frontierswoman. Her spirit is caught between two men: her husband Dan, and his younger brother, John.”
