Gina Carano has settled her lawsuit against Disney and Star Wars<\/em> company Lucasfilm over her firing<\/a> from The Mandalorian<\/em> in 2021 following her controversial social media posts.<\/p>\n The former UFC star and actress, who portrayed Cara Dune on the first two seasons of the Disney+ series, was dropped from the show in February 2021 after a string of what Lucasfilm then called \u201cabhorrent\u201d social media posts. Three years later, in February 2024, Carano filed an Elon Musk-backed wrongful termination lawsuit<\/a> against Disney and Lucasfilm.<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n In July 2024, a judge denied<\/a> Disney\u2019s bid to dismiss Carano\u2019s lawsuit, and now, just over a year later, the sides have reached an undisclosed settlement, according to the Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWith this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms.\u00a0Carano\u00a0in the near future,\u201d Disney said in a statement Thursday. \u201cWe have reached an agreement with Gina\u00a0Carano\u00a0to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies. Ms.\u00a0Carano\u00a0was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n Carano added<\/a> on social media, \u201cI have come to an agreement with Disney\/Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force.\u201d The actress also thanked Musk, \u201ca man I\u2019ve never met,\u201d for \u201cfunding my lawsuit\u201d and \u201cbacking my case and asking for nothing in return.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d like to thank you all for your unrelenting support throughout my life and career, you\u2019ve been the heartbeat that has kept my story alive. I hope to make you proud,\u201d Carano added. \u201cI am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear if the settlement paves the way for Carano to reprise the role of Cara Dune in the upcoming feature film The Mandalorian and Grogu<\/em>, as production wrapped on that film in December 2024. At the time of Carano controversies, the actress was also rumored to appear as Dune in a Mandalorian<\/em> spinoff series Rangers of the New Republic<\/em>.<\/p>\n Carano\u2019s social media posts involved her thoughts on everything from the Black Lives Matter protests and LGBTQ+ issues like preferred pronouns to Covid-19 regulations and alleged, unproven voter fraud in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n After the hashtag #FireGinaCarano started trending, Carano shared an Instagram story that appeared to compare \u201chating someone for their political views\u201d to the antisemitic treatment of Jews during the Nazi regime. It was that post that ultimately led to her dismissal.<\/p>\n \u201cGina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future,\u201d the company said at the time. \u201cNevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n Carano\u2019s lawsuit insisted that she \u201ccompared no one or group of people to the Jewish people during the Holocaust. Rather, she noted the danger that arises when one point of view is singled out for harassment.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
