Walt Disney Co. settled a lawsuit brought by actress Gina Carano, who sued for wrongful termination after she was let go from the cast of the TV show The Mandalorian following comments that were deemed offensive.
Terms of the settlement weren’t disclosed. Disney’s Lucasfilm had parted ways with Carano in 2021 after she posted comments on social media that were criticized as antisemitic.
“Ms. Carano was 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,” a Lucasfilm spokesperson said Thursday in an emailed statement. “With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future.”
Backed by by Elon Musk, Carano filed suit in Los Angeles federal court in 2024 claiming that Disney and Lucasfilm violated California law in terminating her from The Mandalorian — a Star Wars spinoff and one of the most popular shows on the flagship Disney+ streaming service — for her political views.
In 2021, Lucasfilm said it had no plans for any future work with Carano and that her “social-media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
At the time, Carano’s talent agent, United Talent Agency, and publicity firm, ID Public Relations, both said they were no longer working with her.
