In the first two seasons of the series, Gina Carano played the role of Cara Dune, a mercenary helping our main character. The production of the second season of the hit show coincided with the most important events on the world stage – the pandemic and the US presidential elections. Gina Carano allowed herself some rather risky comments on social media in 2021.
She compared, among others, the situation of Republicans in the USA to the situation of Jews during the Holocaust, she was accused of mocking transgender people and denying the effectiveness of wearing masks during the pandemic. Her private views led to the loss of the role – Disney and Lucasfilm decided in February 2021 to terminate contracts with Carano.
Disney briefly comments on Gina Carano’s lawsuit
After three years, Gina Carano decided to fight for herself.
As a testament to X’s support of free speech, we are proud to support Gina Carano in her legal case, helping her assert her free speech rights at X and her right to work without harassment, harassment or discrimination, said Joe Benarroch , one of the directors at X, in an interview with the “Hollywood Reporter”.
In addition to the financial reward, Carano expects Disney and Lucasfilm to rehire her in the same role she already had. This would be theoretically possible – Cara Dune in “The Mandalorian” is still alive, she was sent deep into the Galaxy for military service.
“” obtained a comment from Bob Iger, the first most important decision-maker at Disney. Iger made no attempt at eloquence. When asked what he thought about Musk supporting Carano against his company, he replied:
Nothing.
Elon Musk has not liked Disney for a long time
he also supports Gina Carano for personal reasons. The multimillionaire does not like the path that this company is taking – he accuses it of reverse racism (oppression of people with light skin color), misogyny and denial of the right to freedom of speech (the most important freedom in the United States). Disney last year completely withdrew its presence on X (formerly Twitter) after Musk released a series of anti-Semitic and conspiracy theory-supporting posts.
Do they want to blackmail me by not advertising? Blackmail ME? And go to hell. Go to hell, is that clear? “Hey, Bob,” he said to Disney’s Bob Iger, “if you’re hearing this, that’s what I think.” Don’t advertise here, Musk later said at a press conference.
He called the hiring of Ayo Edebiri instead of Johnny Depp for “Pirates of the Caribbean 6” “institutionalized racism and sexism,” and on Tuesday he announced that he was accepting applications from anyone who had been harmed by Disney through discrimination.
