Given all the characters we’ve seen Johnny Depp take on, is the Mad Hatter really a stretch?

Although the circumstances behind this image have not yet been confirmed, it’s believed this picture is of the 45-year-old on the Alice in Wonderland set. Since the Tim Burton film will be incorporating live action and performance-capture technology a la Beowulf, it’s not clear how this costume may fit into the Lewis Carroll update.

The 2010 release also features Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter (the Red Queen), Anne Hathaway (the White Queen), Michael Sheen (the Cheshire Cat) and Crispin Glover (the Knave of Hearts).
