Machete Kills Oscar Nominee Demian Bichir?

You know, after watching “Weeds”, you can’t say that he didn’t have it coming. I mean, the way he treated poor Nancy? The mother of his child? It’s no wonder tha… huh? That was just a TV show? Oh well then. That changes everything.

According to Variety, Demian Bichir (pictured right; A Better Life) is in negotiations to join Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, which Rodriguez hopes to direct solo this coming June.

If signed, he’ll join the previously announced Mel Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, and of course Danny Trejo.

Machete Kills finds the titular ex-federale (Danny Trejo) recruited by the U.S. government to stop a terrorist named Mendez the Madman, who happens to be Mexico’s leading cartel dealer. Mel Gibson is set to co-star as Luther Voz, a cunning arms dealer and death merchant who aims to spread war across the planet by launching a missile. Jessica Alba is also expected to return for the sequel, which will be distributed by 20th Century Fox.

Look for more soon!
