Salma Hayek is playing the Mexican cartel queen-pin Elena,

while Benicio will play Lado, the vicious cartel enforcer.

 

Demián Bichir will play a two-timing attorney

who works for Elena's cartel.

 

Blake Lively will play the shared girlfriend of pot growers

Ben (Aaron Johnson) and Chon (Taylor Kitsch), who are forced

to work with (and against) the cartel when she is kidnapped.
