In this interview video courtesy of Disney, Johnny Depp talks about his starring role in The Lone Ranger and reuniting with his Pirates of the Caribbean and Rango director Gore Verbinski. Depp also discusses how he came up with the look for Tonto, the chemistry on the set with Armie Hammer who plays The Lone Ranger, shooting on location, and his favorite scene from the Western.

The Lone Ranger opened in theaters on July 3, 2013.

The Plot: From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ The Lone Ranger, an adventure infused with action and humor, in which the famed masked hero is brought to life through new eyes. Native American warrior Tonto (Johnny Depp) recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid (Armie Hammer), a man of the law, into a legend of justice—taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption.
