Leading man Johnny Depp may be playing a sidekick in the upcoming remake of The Lone Ranger, but in his stunning Native American costume, there's no doubt he'll steel the show!

The first photo of Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto has finally been released, with Armie Hammer as the Ranger, and Depp is so excited about his new role, he Tweeted on Thursday, "Tonto and The Lone Ranger Ride Again!"

The photo features Depp in full Native American garb, with tribal facepaint, a full headdress and feathers, while Hammer looks gorgeous -- as usual -- in his cowboy hat and sexy mask.

The film also stars Helena Bonham Carter and Tom Wilkinson and is expected to hit theaters in 2013.
