Fans Speculate: Could Gina Carano Ever Return to THE MANDALORIAN?

By Movieguide® Staff

While THE MANDALORIAN Season 3 started production, Lucasfilm executives said that Gina Carano’s character, Cara Dune, will not be recast, according to FanFest.

However, after the company fired Carano over her conservative values, it is unlikely that she will return in Season 3.

The actress’ firing also delayed plans for a spinoff series with Carano in the lead role called RANGERS OF THE NEW REPUBLIC.

THE MANDALORIAN became one of Disney’s most successful series on their streaming platform, Disney+. Despite support from her co-stars and backlash from fans, Lucasfilms has stuck with their decision to let the former MMA fighter go.

Despite what seemed like a final decision at the time, fans have speculated whether or not the actress could make her return in later seasons.

“I read today you may be in the Mandalorin season 4 I hope it is true any truth to this ? Message me,” one user said on Twitter.

However, other fans pointed out that Season 4 has not yet been confirmed.

Movieguide® previously reported on Carano’s firing:

The former MMA fighter claimed that she intended to “bring people together” when she posted a controversial tweet that discussed how society allowed Nazis to take power in Germany by choosing to persecute the oppressed rather than standing up to government tyranny.

After Lucasfilm terminated Carano, many fans pointed out that other cast members of THE MANDALORIAN also had politically charged tweets.

Carano claimed that while on set, Disney silenced her conservatives views in favor of a single narrative.

“They’ve been all over me and they’ve been watching me like a hawk,” Carano said. “And I’m watching people on the same production and they can say everything they want, and that’s where I had a problem. I had a problem because I wasn’t going along with the narrative.”

Carano added: “I was prepared at any point to be let go because I’ve seen this happen to so many people. I’ve seen the looks on their faces. I’ve seen the bullying that takes place, and so when this started, they point their guns at you, and you know it’s only a matter of time. I’ve seen it happen to so many people, and I just thought to myself, ‘you’re coming for me, I know you are.’ They’re making it very obvious through their employees who were coming for me, and so I was like, ‘I’m going to go down swinging and I’m going to stay true to myself.'”

Carano further hinted that other conservatives may feel marginalized by the Disney conglomerate and are afraid to speak up.

“I’m not the only one that’s ever been bullied by this company, and I know that so deeply,” Carano said. “I could share a story which would turn things around in the media but I can’t because it would sell out a friend… Everyone is afraid of losing their job.”
