With a cast that already includes not only Danny Trejo as the returning, titular, slash-happy, Mexican, ex-Federale you really wouldn’t want to fuck with, Machete, but Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Sofía Vergara (Four Brothers), Vanessa Hudgens (Sucker Punch), and Amber Heard (Drive Angry), director Robert Rodriguez has just added another face to his OTT action follow-up, by casting Lady Gaga in Machete Kills.
Seen in the image on the right, the singer will star in the sequel to Machete; which finds the titular hero now working for the US government; as La Chameleón (a mysterious, gun-toting, animal-skin lover), and co-star alongside Mel Gibson (Mad Max), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Men of Honour), William Sadler (Man On A Ledge), Demián Bichir (Che: Part Two), and Edward James Olmos (Dexter), when Machete Kills is released next year.
