Charlie Sheen … um, Carlos Estevez … Is America’s Gun-Totin’ President in ‘Machete Kills’ Trailer (Video)

Danny Trejo returns to theaters on Sept. 13 to slice and dice his way through another bloody grindhouse adventure

Carlos Estevez, the actor formerly known as Charlie Sheen, is the President of the United States in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills," and based on the first trailer, it appears that he's ready to take a very strong course of action.

"I'm the President of the United States, ma'am," Estevez introduces himself before picking up and firing an assault rifle.

In the sequel to the 2010 grindhouse inspired action film "Machete," Danny Trejo returns as the titular knife-wielding ex-Federale agent. Just before being hanged, he's hired by the U.S. President to "go kick some ass" through Mexico in order to take down a madman revolutionary and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war and anarchy across the planet.

Oscar nominee Demián Bichir ("A Better Life") plays the madman, while Mel Gibson is back on the big screen this September as the dangerous arms dealer. Like Machete, Gibson's character also appears to prefer blades over bullets.

Sofia Vergara, Michelle Rodriguez, Amber Heard, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Jessica Alba, Alexa Vega, Vanessa Hudgens, Cuba Gooding Jr. and William Sadler also appear in the purposely absurd mayhem.
