Gina Carano appeared in two seasons of “The Mandalorian” as Cara Dune. The actress, a former MMA fighter, played the role of a slightly mouthy but very efficient mercenary, and her character was very liked by the viewers. The problems began when Carano decided to express her unflattering opinion about the situation in the country on social media.
The actress lost her role in “” in 2021 – Lucasfilm and Disney gave up her character. Shortly thereafter, United Talent Agency terminated her contract. Reason? Controversial and, for many, scandalous posts on social media. However, 2024 came and Gina Carano decided it was time to act.
Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm
Gina Carano announced on Twitter/X that she has filed a lawsuit against Lucasfilm and Disney. She claims that she was hounded by the campaign against her solely because she did not have an opinion that was consistent with the prevailing narrative at the time.
The truth is that I was hounded for everything I wrote and liked because it did not align with the acceptable narrative at the time. My words were distorted to dehumanize me and demonize me as a person associated with far-right extremists. I was slandered and silenced, I was destroyed and I was held up as an anti-example, writes Carano on Twitter.
In a long statement, he refers to freedom of speech, which “does not disappear when an employment contract is signed.” She also explains that she did not write directly what she was accused of. Elon Musk himself is to support her in the court case, who promised help in the event of the actress being fired “for entries on his platform.” His lawyers have already contacted Carano and are working on her case.
I gave them as much information as I could gather in recent months. Now my lawyers and platform X lawyers are acting on my behalf. Thank you to Elon Musk and X for giving me a chance to highlight my case.

Why exactly did Gina Carano lose her job on “The Mandalorian”?
Gina Carano lost her role in the Disney hit in February 2021. The actress compared the situation of Republicans in the USA to the situation of Jews during the Holocaust. “How is that different from hating someone for their views?” – she asked rhetorically on Twitter. After some time, she deleted the entry, but added a new one, ridiculing the need to wear masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Carano has been criticized quite often before for a series of posts on social media. She was accused of mocking the rights of transgender people and repeating conspiracy theories spread by the QAnon group. But it was the entry about the Holocaust that broke the camel’s back.
Gina Carano is not employed by Lucasfilm, and the company has no plans to employ her in the future. “Her social media posts belittling others based on their cultural or religious affiliations are contemptible and unacceptable,” Lucasfilm said in a statement.
. Viewers heard that the mercenary joined the special forces, which means the final end of her storyline. According to rumors, it was planned to expand the story of Cara Dune in a separate series after the first two seasons.
