Why Did Disney Settle Its Gina Carano Lawsuit? Hint: It Might Have To Do With the NFL, ESPN, and Trump

UNITED STATES, AUG 8 – Gina Carano settled her wrongful termination suit after being fired over a social media post; Disney paid $15 million and may consider rehiring her, sources said.

  • On Aug. 7, Gina Carano revealed she reached a settlement with Disney and Lucasfilm over her 2021 firing from The Mandalorian.
  • After she reposted a Holocaust image comparing MAGA supporters to Jews in Nazi Germany, Lucasfilm called her posts 'abhorrent and unacceptable' before firing her in February 2021.
  • Supported by Elon Musk’s X, Carano filed a wrongful termination suit last year, alleging she sought $75,000 and was targeted by an 'online bully mob'.
  • Following the joint motion, Disney and Lucasfilm said they 'look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.'
  • In recent months, Disney's content edits at Pixar and Marvel suggest a possible shift, with Lucasfilm hinting at reviving Cara Dune despite no plans confirmed.
