It's one of the most anticipated films of the year so it was bound to draw a big crowd - and a handful of celebrity fans as well.
The Lone Ranger entourage trotted into London for the latest premiere on Sunday night and it proved to be quite the glamorous affair.
Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts was on the guest list and stunned in a purple and beige mini-dress, while fellow singer Diana Vickers wore a minuscule mint leopard print playsuit to the screening.
Vickers brought her boyfriend George Craig along, who cosied up to her in a heart print shirt.
Amber Le Bon meanwhile also vied for attention in a floorlength ballgown as she made her own way on to the star studded carpet.
Actress Ruth Wilson, who plays Rebecca Reid in the film, also lead the stylish females gracing the event with the male dominant castmates.
The actress opted for a quirky strapless gown which hung low at the front and looked like a mini-dress from behind.
Ruth brightened up the ensemble with some neon high heels and a slick of bright pink lipstick.
She also wore her short brunette hair in an intricate up 'do to finish off her glamorous style.
But while Ruth was representing the female stars in the movie, there were plenty of other ladies who came along to watch the film for the first time.
Although it's likely that Armie and Johnny would have been none the wiser as to who they were as the majority of the 'star' guests came from reality shows.
Former Made In Chelsea star Kimberley Garner stood out in a plunging bright yellow gown as she stroked the horses and flirted with the cameras.
Her former co-star Cheska Hull was also on hand - and also flashed the flesh in a very low cut gown.
The blonde star opted for a rainbow striped frock with a see-through fabric which she matched with some wedges.
Former X Factor star Jade Ellis was also there but kept it simple in black.
Although all eyes were predominantly on the two lead male stars of the film.
They've so far already travelled to Tokyo and Berlin to promote their latest movie, The Lone Ranger.
But now Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer have jetted to England to hold the London premiere of the action movie.
And clearly getting bored of his staple black, blue or grey suits, Armie decided to brighten up proceedings on Sunday with a bright red outfit instead.
The Social Network star stood out as he walked the carpet in his scarlet suit with co-ordinating shoes and tie.
And while he would normally risk clashing with the usual red carpet at premieres, he didn't have to worry as producers instead chose an on theme cow hind style carpet for the stars to walk down.
Armie, 26, brought his wife Elizabeth Chambers along once more after bringing her by his side to both the Japanese and German premieres earlier in the week.
But while he showed a public declaration of love by cosying up to her at the screening as she stunned in an LBD, his co-star Johnny Depp decided to walk it alone.
The actor has brought girlfriend Amber Heard with him to each country as well, but is yet to pose with her at a public event such as a premiere since they started dating.
Their film The Lone Ranger cost $225 million to make, but made a disappointing $19.5 million during it's opening weekend.
Making matters worse, critics have also failed to embrace the movie.
But the film's star Johnny opened up in Germany to say he doesn't care what the naysayers think as long as his own children enjoyed the Disney film.
Speaking ahead of the film's German premiere in Berlin, Depp told journalists he was not bothered by criticism from back home.
'To be quite honest I couldn't give a rats about U.S. journalists' opinions,' he said.
'What I do care about is my kids' opinions and they loved it, they loved the ride and maybe they are biased, slightly, but for all purposes my kids were able to forget that it was Daddy five or ten minutes into the film and they enjoyed the ride.
'The ride itself is incredible and unique, this film, so yeah I trust my kids' opinions more than the US critics.'
When the western television series The Lone Ranger first rode into U.S. homes in 1949, the masked man was the dashing, charming hero and the Native American Tonto his loyal sidekick.
But in Disney's new remake of the series, it is Tonto who takes centre stage.
Played by Depp with the same offbeat charm as his Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Tonto is the brains of the operation.
In an opening sequence - a breakneck fight scene on a runaway train - Tonto directs an escape from outlaws while a mask-less Lone Ranger, played by Armie Hammer, is the naive one, unsure at the outset that he was even in danger.
But critics have not embraced the movie, which performed below expectations its opening weekend in the US in early July, raising the possibility that the movie could saddle the media giant with a loss on the film.
The film, which cost an estimated $225 million to produce, wrangled just 19.5 million dollars in tickets sales in its first two full days at U.S. and Canadian movie theatres.
The film's poor opening is a black eye for producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Gore Verbinski and star Depp, the trio behind Disney's ultra-successful Pirates of the Caribbean series.
In the movie, audiences see through Tonto's eyes how former lawman John Reid, the Lone Ranger came to fight injustice in the Old West.
Some critics have said Depp's portrayal of Tonto, is too similar to Jack Sparrow, the character Depp made famous in the Pirates of the Caribbean.
The Lone Ranger hits UK cinemas on 9 August.
