After some rumblings that she was spotted on the Austin set, Robert Rodriguez went ahead and confirmed pop star Lady Gaga is not only part of Machete Kills, but she’s already wrapped her role as La Chameleon. She won’t just be an innocent bystander either, as the director added, “she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy Smokes. Blown away!”

Gaga joins quite an eclectic celebrity-filled cast, including Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica AlbaMel Gibson, Zoe Saldana, Sofia Vergara, Edward James Olmos, Amber Heard, last year’s Best Actor Oscar-nominee Demian Bichir as well as Charlie Sheen as the President of the United States.

The casting hasn’t stopped there either, as Alexa Vega (yes, the little girl from Spy Kids) is all grown up and has been added to the ensemble. The actress confirmed her casting via a provocative Instagram snap, which can be seen below along with the first poster featuring Gaga. No details on the roles of either actress, but do you really care? Oh, you’re already looking at the photo below? Go on.

Expect Machete Kills to arrive in theaters next summer.

What do you think of this casting? Do you mind for a shlocky film like this one is sure to be?
