Amber Heard may be the latest actress to join Machete Kills according to a new report. Variety notes that the Drive Angry star is currently in talks to play "a manipulative assassin code-named Miss San Antonio". If she signs on, she'll be joining Michelle Rodriguez, Mel Gibson, and Demian Bichir. The report also reveals that Jessica Alba is now officially on board as well.
Machete Kills begins filming this month in Texas, so we should have a final cast list in the very near future. Here is the previously released synopsis:
“The new film finds Machete 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 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.”
