Lady Gaga Nabs A Role In Machete Kills, Character Poster Revealed

Robert Rodriguez has lined up some serious femme fatales for the upcoming Machete Kills. In addition to Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba, who will be reprising their roles as Luz and Sartana, respectively, the sequel also includes actresses like Amber Heard, Sofia Vergara, Alexa Vega, Vanessa Hedgens. Oh, and apparently Lady Gaga.

Superhero Hype found a tweet from Rodriguez earlier today (that seems to have been deleted) in which he revealed that the pop star will appear in the Machete follow-up. "I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills," he said, "she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!" In addition to the tweet, a new poster for Gaga's character has been reveled, which also gives us her name: La Chameleon. You can see the poster below and head over to SHH to see it in high-res.

But that's not all. The aforementioned Alexa Vega hit Instagram earlier today saying, "RR gave the ok for a sneak peek... @machetekills KillJoy," and delivering our first look at her character in costume...and it's pretty damn revealing. Check it out below.

Machete Kills sees Danny Trejo return as the titular character, who teams up with the US government to take down a dangerous arms dealer (Mel Gibson) who is threatening to launch missiles into space. The movie will also star Charlie Sheen, Cuba Gooding Jr., Edward James Olmos, William Sadler, and Demian Bichir. It does not yet have a release date, but 20th Century Fox is set to distribute in the United States.
