Johnny Depp May Star in Disney’s Musical ‘Into the Woods’
Johnny Depp and Rob Marshall
Actor Johnny Depp may star in Disney’s film adaptation of Broadway musical “Into the Woods“. Depp’s role in this film would be his first singing role since he starred in Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon of Fleet Street. This project would also reunite Depp with Rob Marshall, who was the director of Disney’s fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film.
Into the Woods is a “darkly comic mash-up” of classic fairy tales that revolves around a childless baker along with his wife, who try to lift a family curse by traveling into the woods to confront a witch that put a spell on them. During they journey, they encounter a group of characters including Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood.
New Trailer for Disney’s ‘The Lone Ranger’ Arrives
We’re just a few months away now from the new release of Disney’s newest film, ‘The Lone Ranger’, starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp. The film will be a new take on the story of John Reid, a man who is ambushed and left for dead, only to come back from the brink and become The Lone Ranger.

Johnny Depp Invited To Join Comanche Tribe
Actor Johnny Depp will be starring in Disney’s upcoming film, The Lone Ranger. Johnny Depp will be playing the Native American hero Tonto. Comanche Nation leaders invited him to become an honorary member of their tribe while he was filming The Lone Ranger in New Mexico last May.
Depp said that being adopted into the tribe was “possibly the greatest memento” he could have received. Comanche Nation held a sacred ceremony at the home of LaDonna Harris, a prominent Native Amercian activist, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
“When the request came in, I couldn’t believe it. It was an honor beyond all honors…” Depp says. “The name they chose for me, Mah-Woo-Meh, means shapeshifter, which I suppose is quite apt, and I take great pride in that choice.”
There was some initial controversy when Depp was originally cast for the role of Tonto as some believed a true Native American would have been given the part. Depp commented that the honor of becoming part of the tribe drove him to give a respectable performance.
