If the major Hollywood studios caved to any sort of fan pressure, then they’d never be able to get anything done. If the people in charge paid even the slightest attention to what’s trending on social media or what petitions are gaining traction online, then the current complexion of the industry would be very different.
For one thing, no TV show would ever be cancelled seeing as a campaign springs up anytime a series with a decent-sized fanbase is pulled from the airwaves, while Johnny Depp would be both Jack Sparrow and Grindelwald as Amber Heard desperately struggled to find work. Brie Larson would have been replaced as Captain Marvel, the eighth series of Game of Thrones would have been remade, and the list goes on and on.
That’s what makes it very unlikely that Gina Carano is going to be dropped from The Mandalorian, despite the outrage over her recent Twitter activity leading to widespread calls to have her booted from the Disney Plus smash hit. There’s plenty of people in the business with questionable personal and political views, but the artist needs to be separated from the art to get any sort of enjoyment from the product in question.
However, insider Daniel Richtman claims that the higher ups at Disney are keenly aware of Carano’s combative nature on social media, and as a result they could be considering a way to write her out of The Mandalorian. Taking to his Patreon account, he shared:
“I hear they are considering replacing her or killing her off next season.”
Of course, the third season is scheduled to start shooting before the end of the year and at this point, the scripts could always be changed, but any episode that killed off Cara Dune would no doubt go down a storm based on recent events.
