Not much is known about Gaga's character, however the singer did share a photo of herself wearing a blonde wig with a white wolf around her body, and holding a smoking gun.

Gaga joins a cast of stars including Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba, and Zoe Saldana.

"Machete Kills" is a sequel to Rodriguez's "Machete"which released two years ago.
