Kindof a big night for fans of hot, spicy, tough as nails Michelle Rodriguez. Not only was she confirmed to return as Letty in Fast and the Furious 6, but Robert Rodriguez also has her back for Machete Kills, where she'll don a cool eyepatch and fight for the Mexican cause as Luz. It's still not clear if Jessica Alba will return as the world's sexiest immigrations officer, but it's looking likely.
What we do know now is how Mel Gibson will fit in. Even after all his recent controversy, Gibson was signed on for what we thought would be a small, showy cameo. However, Variety reports he'll actually be Luther Voz, the primary villain in the film. Oh, that should be easy for him. Voz is the violent crimelord/arms dealer with a plan to fire a weaponized satellite into orbit, forcing the government to hire Machete(Danny Trejo) to take him down.
Filming on Machete Kills should begin soon, so that Robert Rodriguez can go from it directly into this production on this summer's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
