Zoe Saldana has signed up for 'Machete Kills' alongside Sofia Vergara, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Mel Gibson and Danny Trejo.

Zoe Saldana has signed up for 'Machete Kills'.

The 'Star Trek' actress will appear alongside Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba and Michelle Rodriguez in the follow-up to 2010 action movie 'Machete', and Danny Trejo - who is set to reprise his role as blade-wielding Mexican Federale Machete Cortez - can't wait to kiss all four girls in the film.

He said: ''The sequel to 'Machete', 'Machete Kills' is going to be a lot more over-the-top than 'Machete'.

''We've got Sofia Vergara, who is a star in her own right, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, and Zoe Saldana - and guess what? I get to kiss all of 'em.''

Amber Heard is in line to play an assassin in the motion picture, which will see Michelle and Jessica reprise their roles of a taco-truck lady and an immigrations officer, with Robert Rodriguez returning to direct the project.

'Machete Kills' - which is scheduled to begin shooting in Texas soon - will see Cortez aim to stop Mel Gibson's villain from firing a missile.

As well as looking forward to reprising his role in the film, Danny is also hoping to land a part in Robert's forthcoming 'Sin City' sequel.

When asked if he would like to star in 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For', he joked to Moviehole: ''I better, if [Rodriguez] wants to do 'Machete 3'.

''In fact, you can go ahead and print 'Robert, let's get Trejo in 'Sin City 2.''
