After being fired from The Mandalorian by Disney, Cara Dune actress Gina Carano reveals how her co-stars perceive her and suggests she’s recently received the backing of Din Djarin himself, Pedro Pascal.

Gina Carano isn’t backing down from her fight with Disney, with an Elon Musk-backed lawsuit that the MMA fighter-turned-actress hopes will make the House of Mouse pay for firing her from The Mandalorian.

That came after the Cara Dune actress shared a series of offensive social media posts, comparing being a conservative in modern America to what “thousands” of Jews went through at the hands of the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Carano recently sat down for a conversation with Tucker Carlson (via SFFGazette.com) and claimed her co-stars don’t feel the same level of disdain towards her that she believes Disney does.

“Everybody I worked physically with, I never had a problem with,” Carano explained. “Me and Pedro [Pascal] reconnected after Carl Weathers passed away. There’s all these lies, and all these weird stories that people make up in their heads. One thing I can say is I adore Pedro, and he said one thing to me. He said, ‘You and Carl were protectors.’”

“And that means so much to me that he remembers me and our time together as me being a protector, and it’s important that people don’t know what the real story is,” she said without elaborating. “Like, why do you think Pedro is calling me a protector? To his fans, I want [them to know] there’s a reason, and there’s stories you don’t know that happened. And I was there, and I protect people.”

Carano, who came close to headlining her own Rangers of the New Republic series, would explain that she spoke up for an unnamed actor on the set of The Mandalorian who had been left “broken” after a particularly exhausting shoot. She claims to have told the director they were “done” and volunteered to film additional scenes so they could have time to rest.

“I worked longer hours than maybe probably any actor [on The Mandalorian], because my face was showing, and I did all my own stunts,” Carano adds. “So, if you go back and you look at the work records, you’re going to find who was on the set the most, as the actors, and you’re going to find me at the top of that list.”

It’s a nice story, but not one that’s in any way relevant to whether Disney did the wrong thing by firing her. The studio maintains it was within its right to part ways with someone whose views they’ve deemed “abhorrent,” and Carano is adamant she has a right to say what she pleases without fear of consequence from an employer.
