Armie Hammer is in talks to play the title role in Jerry Bruckheimer's film adaptation of The Lone Ranger, it has been reported.
The actor would be starring opposite Johnny Depp, who is already confirmed to play the ranger's sidekick Tonto.
Variety reports that Disney and Bruckheimer are hoping to get production started in time for a release date in 2012, despite Depp's busy schedule.
Hammer, who was in the Oscar-winning The Social Network, recently signed up to play the Prince in the forthcoming Snow White.
He recently lost out on the lead for the reboot of Superman to Stardust actor Henry Cavill.
Depp has previously promised that the Lone Ranger movie will be "really funny".
