Words that are expensive
Before her public statements literally cost her her role as Cara Dune in The Mandalorian, actress Gina Carano was one of the series’ most beloved characters available exclusively on Disney+. End of 2020 beginning of 2021, the ex-MMA star (for Mixed Martial Art) compares her status as a Republican in the United States of the 21st century with that of the Jews persecuted during the Holocaust, and also makes remarks deemed transphobic. Added to this is his aversion to wearing a mask and questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election. Unsurprisingly, Twitter is taking over this case. Members of the social network launch the hashtag #FireGinaCarano. Aware of the problem, Disney makes a radical decision. A spokesperson for the firm said:
Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans to employ her in the future. Nonetheless, his social media posts that denigrate people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.
To put it simply, Disney terminated its contract prematurely, which will have the direct consequence of the disappearance of the character of Cara Dune in season 3 of The Mandalorian. Hopefully some narrative pirouette is found to justify this unless it just gets swept under the rug. Din Djarin and Grogu return to Disney+ from March 1, 2023 one episode per week for a total of 8.
A flop at the box office
Almost no one expected a return of Gina Carano both on the small and on the big screen. Nevertheless, the American actress makes an unnoticed appearance in Terror on the Prairie where she plays the main role, that of Hattie McAllister. This 2022 western directed by Michael Polish (Jackpot, Northfork) and written by Josiah Nelson (Diamonds Pride and Betrayal) tells the story of a woman living in the plains of Montana and trying to survive against an outlaw gang. law determined to get revenge.
Terror on the Prairie is a bitter commercial failure for Gina Carano. The feature film accumulates on its territory – the United States – the sum of 804 dollars. It should be noted, however, that this film is exclusively available online to subscribers of the Daily Wire, a conservative American news website, in its home market. Internationally, Terror on the Prairie is not doing much better. Released only in Russia and the United Arab Emirates, this film still fails in general terms with finally 13,115 US dollars collected.
