Lady Gaga has been cast in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills", a film famous for its oddball casting. Mother Monster clearly already put in work on the set and has her own PETA-friendly poster to boot.


The "Planet Terror" and "Sin City" director announced the news on Twitter Thursday.

Gaga confirmed her involvement, reiterating that this was her acting debut (super-long music videos notwithstanding):

In case you wonder what would be Gaga's role, Gaga plays La Chameleon and joins a cast that includes Amber Heard, Sofia Vergera, Zoe Saldana, Jessica Alba, Danny Trejo (Machete himself) and Alex Vega (who played one of the titular characters in "Spy Kids" and recently Instagrammed a photo of her risque costume).

None of these casting choices, however, are as shocking as Rodriguez's pick for the film's U.S. President: Charlie Sheen. Also rumored to be popping by? Mel Gibson.

It has to be noted that the film, which is a follow up to Rodriguez's 2012 B-movie "Machete," has no release date. Trejo's character will reportedly be seen trying to stop an arms dealer from hastening the end of the world. 


What do you think of Lady Gaga's acting debut and her collaboration with Robert Rodriguez? Are you excited about the cast?
