With the help of billionaire Elon Musk, Gina Carano is taking Disney and Lucasfilm to court over firing her from The Mandalorian.

Three years after she was booted from her role as Cara Dune in The Mandalorian, Gina Carano is taking Disney and Lucasfilm to court.

Per THR, Gina Carano is suing Disney and Lucasfilm for discrimination and wrongful termination, stemming from her 2021 firing after a series of controversial, right-wing social media posts. The complaint was formally filed on Tuesday in California federal court, and Elon Musk is funding the lawsuit for the former Mandalorian star. This follows a previous promise made by Musk that he would pay for the legal fees for X users who claim they were discriminated against due to posts made on the social media platform. Musk’s involvement was confirmed in a statement shared by Joe Benarroch, the head of X’s business operations.

Gina Carano recalls the support from The Mandalorian “mentor” Carl Weathers, both on the set and after her firing.

“As a sign of X Corp’s commitment to free speech, we’re proud to provide financial support for Gina Carano’s lawsuit, empowering her to seek vindication of her free speech rights on X and the ability to work without bullying, harassment, or discrimination,” the statement reads. Carano shared her own statement in response that added, “I am honored that my case has been chosen to be supported by the company that has been one of the last glimmers of hope for free speech in the world.“;

The lawsuit alleges that Disney and Lucasfilm had “harassed and defamed Carano for refusing to conform with their viewpoints on issues relating to Black Lives Matter, preferred pronouns and disproven claims of election interference.” Carano is also arguing that her male co-stars from The Mandalorian suffered no consequences for sharing social media posts that were offensive towards conservatives. One named example is a post made by Pedro Pascal in 2017 comparing former U.S. president Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. Additionally, Carano claims she was mandated to meet with a rep of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination and issue a public apology, which she refused, leading to her firing.
