De Niro and Trego worked together 14 years ago in the movie Heat. The cast of Machete already includes Michelle Rodriguez and Jonah Hill.
Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, the film follows a man (Trejo) who is betrayed by the company that he works for. He then embarks on a revenge-seeking mission against his boss (De Niro).
The vigilante action film is based on the Grindhouse trailer. However, there has not yet been any official confirmation on De Niro’s role.
Robert De Niro can be seen in the film Everybody’s Fine, set to hit theatres on December 4.
