Gina Carano's ongoing lawsuit against Disney alleges that the company violated California labor laws by removing her from The Mandalorian due to her personal views, which she argues are protected by the First Amendment. Carano has named high-profile individuals like Pedro Pascal, Bear Grylls, and former Disney CEO Bob Chapek as potential witnesses. Disney contends that Carano was not fired but that her character was simply not included in future Star Wars projects, and claims the company has the right to distance itself from her political views. The lawsuit, supported by Elon Musk, also accuses Disney of gender discrimination, alleging that left-leaning actors were not punished for their views. A trial is proposed for September 2025, with depositions expected beforehand.
