The promo shot shows the songstress wearing stockings, lingerie and jewellery with wolf fur draped around her back. Her hair is a vibrant yellow colour and styled in 1940s-inspired waves, and she's holding a smoking pistol.

Rodriguez commented on Twitter: 'I just finished working with @LadyGaga on @MacheteKills, she kicked SO MUCH ASS! Holy smokes. Blown away!'

High praise indeed!

The singer, who has done a spot of acting before in her epic music video mini films, is the latest recruit for the sequel to 2010's Machete, which will see Charlie Sheen play the president of the United States and Mel Gibson as an eccentric billionaire arms dealer.
