Even though Sheen is portraying the most powerful man in the United States, it doesn’t mean he’s completely shedding his playboy image.

The trailer features Sheen’s presidential character sleeping with three gorgeous women. As for GaGa, her appearance is brief, but certainly leaves quite an impression as she strikes a seductive pose and gives a sultry look.

Directed by Rodriguez, the film follows ex-Federal agent Machete, who is recruited by the President of the United States for a mission, which would be impossible for any mortal man. He must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer named Luther Voz who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet.

The sequel to the 2010 movie is also supported by some other starry names including Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara, Vanessa Hudgens, Mel Gibson and Antonio Banderas among others.

Machete Kills will hit U.S. theaters on October 11.

Sheen, born Carlos Irwin Estévez to actor Martin Sheen, stars as the President of the United States in the sequel to Rodriguez’s cult classic Machete.

His brother Emilio Estevez decided to keep the family name and dad Martin Sheen, born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estevez, regrets changing his name, which he did to get more acting gigs.

“I thought, I got enough problems trying to get an acting job, so I invented Martin Sheen,” said the West Wing star during a 2003 appearance on Inside the Actors Studio.

“It’s still Estevez officially. I never changed it officially. I never will. It’s on my driver’s license and passport and everything. I started using Sheen, I thought I’d give it a try, and before I knew it, I started making a living with it and then it was too late. In fact, one of my great regrets is that I didn’t keep my name as it was given to me. I knew it bothered my dad.”

In the film, Trejo returns as ex-Federal agent Machete, who is recruited by the President of the United States (Sheen) for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man – he must take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer (Mel Gibson) who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet.

Machete Kills also stars Sofia Vergara, Demián Bichir, Jessica Alba, Antonio Banderas, Vanessa Hudgens and Lady Gaga.

Machete Kills is scheduled for release in the U.S. on September 13, 2013.
