Pictured in the first still is lead characters Django (Foxx) - a freed slave - and Waltz as bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz walking along a wooden paving beside a muddied road.

In the shot Foxx's character looks very wary unlike Waltz's character who looks very calm and confident as they journey down the deserted road both wearing traditional western attire.

DiCaprio plays a deranged plantation owner called Calvin Candie is holding a hammer in his hand whilst he smokes a cigarette.

He also looks extremely dapper as his hair is slicked to perfection and is wearing a burgundy suit with a patterned waistcoat underneath. 

The movie which is about a man trying to rescue his wife from the hands of an evil plantation owner also stars other big names including Samuel L. Jackson, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell.

Earlier this month, writer and director Tarantino appeared alongside the stars of the film during a photo call in Mexico.

The movie is said to be inspired by not only the 1966 movie Django, directed by Sergio Corbucci, but also the unorthodox 2007 Japanese remake by director Takashi Miike, called Sukiyaki Western Django, which featured Tarantino in a cameo as a character named Ringo.

As many of his other movies, the promotional poster is very stylised and helps to generation anticipation around the film.
