Gina Carano Calls for Pedro Pascal to Testify at ‘Mandalorian’ Firing Trial

July 31, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

The Gina Carano suit against Disney/LucasFilm is getting wilder by the day. Carano now wants Pedro Pascal, Kathleen Kennedy and Jon Favreau among many more, to testify in her case. The trial is scheduled for next year.

The reason for Carano to call on Pascal to testify has to do with one of the crucial aspects in her case. The actress claims that she was treated differently than her male co-stars and that her firing was filled with “hypocrisy.”

According to the actress, Disney and Lucasfilm turned a blind eye when ‘Mandalorian’ co-star Pascal wrote “offensive” social media posts comparing Donald Trump to Hitler and the status of U.S. illegal immigration to Germany’s concentration camps.

Carano was infamously fired from “The Mandalorian” for what Disney called posts that “trivialized” the holocaust. She shared a post implying that today’s conservatives are treated like Jews in Nazi Germany. In another one, Carano shared tweets that questioned the pandemic lockdowns and mask mandates.

Carano stands by the posts that caused her firing, noting there was no “aggressive language,” just “thought-provoking” content. Her complaint goes on to claim that Disney and Lucasfilm “made it clear that only one orthodoxy in thought, speech, or action was acceptable in their empire, and that those who dared to question or failed to fully comply would not be tolerated”.

Carano’s career was on the rise in Hollywood as a female action star — her credits included Soderbergh’s “Haywire,” “Fast & Furious 6,” “Deadpool,” and then, all of a sudden, post-firing, the roles stopped coming.

The 42-year-old actress is having X owner Elon Musk pay her legal fees. This is part of Musk’s promise to pay for legal actions taken by people claiming discrimination from posts to Twitter/X.
