Trejo is back in the title role, leading a star-studded cast.
In addition to Lady Gaga, Machete Kills also stars Mel Gibson in a rare appearance as a maniacal arms dealer, and Charlie Sheen, playing the president of the United States and credited for the first time as Carlos Estévez, his birth name.
In the film, the U.S. government recruits Machete to battle his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer who looks to launch a weapon into space.
The trailer focuses primarily on the large cast, which also includes Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Cuba Gooding Jr.
Machete Kills is the first of two sequels that Rodriguez is producing this year. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the follow-up to his 2005 adaptation of the Frank Miller comic books, is currently in post-production, according to the Internet Movie Database. That movie also has a killer ensemble cast that includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and Josh Brolin. Sin City is scheduled for release in October.
Machete Kills opens in theaters on September 13.
