First Look at Johnny Depp's Big Bad Wolf in INTO THE WOODS!

 

Hey guys! Horrorella here...

When the trailer arrived for Rob Marshall's theatrical take on Stephen Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS, we got a good look at many of the characters that would be seen in the film - Little Red Riding Hood, Chris Pine's Prince, Meryl Streep's Witch, Anna Kendrick's Cinderella - but when the time came to check out the Big Bad Wolf, played by Johnny Depp, we barely caught a glimpse. The character slinked behind a tree, with only his furry hand lingering, and leaving the audience to wonder just what he would look like in the finished film.

EW has released a series of covers of the cast members, including Depp's Wolf, and the result is...underwhelming. 

 

 

Maybe I was expecting too much when I thought that the inclusion of a Big Bad Wolf would amount to more than Depp wearing a trademark funny hat and a fake mustache. But that's really all it comes down to here. It seems a bit of a letdown, given how much they built up the character in the trailer footage.

What do you guys think?

Check out the rest of the covers below, highlight stars Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Emily Blunt, James Corden and Mackenzie Mauzy.
