Cara Dune Cut From The Mandalorian Along With Gina Carano
Lucasfilm is making it clear - Cara Dune will no longer appear in The Mandalorian, so re-casting for the role is out of discussion. However, industry insiders have a different take on the matter, sharing details about Gina Carano's dismissal.
- An article published on THR discusses the details about the firing of Gina Carano, as well as the potential recasting of Cara Dune;
- Lucasfilm addressed the information in the text and dismissed reports that the aforementioned character would return in The Mandalorian.
Disney's dismissal of Gina Carano has been followed by a number of various events, including even the removal of figurines featuring the character played by the actress from sale. Star Wars fans are also wondering who will replace the artist as Cara Dune in season 3 of The Mandalorian, as well as other future Star Wars projects. And while the media and insiders have tried to conduct a detailed investigation on the subject, Lucasfilm's answer is clear - Carano will not be replaced, because the creators have no plans to feature her character.
The company felt obliged to speak out after quite a brave article of Hollywood Reporter, in which the subject of Gina Carano's removal from The Mandalorian cast was raised. We can learn a lot of interesting things from it, such as the fact that the actress was repeatedly admonished for her Internet activities.
Even Pedro Pascal, who plays the title role, warned her against such a controversial presentation of her views. Thus, no member of the crew was surprised when, after a post touching upon the subject of the Holocaust, Disney made an immediate decision to fire Carano.
THR also suggested that this might not be the end of Cara Dune in Star Wars, and that someone else might take up the role in the future, if only for Rangers of the New Republic, during the official presentation of which Gina Carano was supposed to appear (but did not). However, Lucasfilm quickly dismissed these reports, claiming that the actress was never a planned part of the December show.
In a word, the whole thing got a little out of hand and caused a media storm that required Disney and Lucasfilm to intervene. The official version of events says one thing - Cara Dune, just like Gina Carano, is already a thing of the past when it comes to the Star Wars universe. In spite of all this, insiders are standing firm and are counting on another casting for the aforementioned role.
