According to the Hollywood Reporter, negotiations are still under way, but once a price is reached he will definitely appear in the film.

This time Machete is called upon by the U.S. government to stop a cartel boss and arms dealer who have a weapon in space. Early report have the script involving an African American President with a basketball court on the White House lawn, but that has seen a rewrite.

Sheen is currently working on the FX series Anger Management which starts June 28.
