Gina Carano's Lawsuit Against Disney Moves Forward

Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney over her termination from 'The Mandalorian' is progressing towards a trial tentatively scheduled for September 2025. Carano claims she was wrongfully terminated and discriminated against based on her gender and political views after making controversial social media posts. She argues that her male co-star Pedro Pascal faced no repercussions for his politically charged posts, highlighting a double standard. Carano has listed several key figures, including Pascal, Jon Favreau, Bear Grylls, and former Disney CEO Bob Chapek, as potential witnesses. Disney maintains that Carano was not under contract at the time of her firing and that the company has the right to disassociate from her views. The lawsuit, backed by Elon Musk, was allowed to proceed after a judge denied Disney's motion to dismiss.
