In recent times, celebrities have been very vocal about their socio-political stands and making their voices heard on their social media platforms. While others are being praised for using their platforms to change the world, The Mandalorian star Gina Carano has received backlash for most of her recent tweets. However, it looks like the controversy, and the trending hashtag #FireGinaCarano will not lead to the Cara Dune actress losing her role in the Star Wars series.
Gina Carano has always been open about her political views on social media. However, netizens recently started reacting to her Twitter presence, most notably the way she allegedly mocked people posting their pronouns on their social media bio. Although the star of The Mandalorian has since removed her "pronouns," people continue to blast Carano and even started trending the hashtag #FireGinaCarano.
So what are the chances that Gina Carano will be removed from The Mandalorian Season 3? The controversy may have led to Disney and Lucasfilm reconsidering the idea of hiring Carano for another season of the Star Wars show.
A new report suggests that Disney was already considering the idea of recasting Cara Dune or writing the character off in the Star Wars series. This way, they could please the fans and avoid being connected to Gina Carano's controversial statements.
But does this mean Cara Dune will no longer show up in The Mandalorian Season 3? Although this is the aim of the hashtag #FireGinaCarano, it looks like there is one person who isn't ready to fire Gina Carano. The report revealed that show creator Jon Favreau is standing by the actress amidst all the controversy and is refusing to write off or recast Cara in the third season.
Cara Dune is undoubtedly one of the most important characters in The Mandalorian. Initially introduced in the first season, Cara continued to play a larger role in Season 2 as she helped Mando on the mission to rescue Baby Yoda. Not surprisingly, creator Jon Favreau still has big plans for the character and isn't bothered by the political views of the actor who plays her.
For now, it is unclear what will happen to Cara Dune in The Mandalorian Season 3. Some believe that she will return to Tatooine and continue serving as a Marshal, while others think she will join Mando on his new adventures. Either way, the character will continue to be played by Gina Carano in the upcoming season.
The Mandalorian Season 3 has not yet been given an official release date. However, it is already set to premiere on Disney+ in 2022.
