Attempting to top the previous ‘Machete Kills’ character poster featuring sexy ‘Modern Family’ star Sofia Vergara firing off her breasts is always going to be an uphill struggle. Still the marketing team gave us Charlie Sheen with firearms so here’s hoping for plenty of more eye candy. Today we catch sight of the Oscar nominated Demian Bichir (‘Che: Part One’) plastered up on the latest charster (‘character poster’!) as Mendez the Madman. The weighty cast list also includes Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba (‘Sin City’), Michelle Rodriguez (‘Resident Evil: Retribution’), Amber Heard (‘Drive Angry’), Vanessa Hudgens (‘Sucker Punch’), Zoe Saldana (‘Avatar’), Lady Gaga, Alexa Vega, the Avellan twins (‘Planet Terror’), Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr, Edward James Olmos (‘Dexter’), William Sadler and Mel Gibson.
“Machete Kills finds Machete (Trejo) recruited by the U.S. Government for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must battle his way through Mexico to take down a madman cartel leader and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer (Gibson) who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space. Machete takes on an army in an effort to dismantle a plan for global anarchy…”
‘Machete Kills’ lands in US theatres on 4 October.
