Fans can never really know what goes on behind-the-scenes of shows like The Mandalorian and in the minds of stars Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano, but we can make some pretty good guesses based on their public statements. It’s clear that the two are diametrically opposed politically, though respect one another as professionals and friends.
This was proved in an (almost) touching story when Carano was catching heat for transphobia after criticizing social media user’s use of pronouns. Carano explained in a tweet that Pascal (whose sister Lux is trans) had a chat with her to explain why this is such a hot button issue for the LGBTQ+ community. For a hot second Carano appeared to take this on board, though as she then mockingly put “beep/bop/boop” in her profile it seems the advice didn’t stick.
Now leaker Daniel Richtman, who has a track record of stories about the private thoughts of all kinds of stars, is claiming that Pascal is “disappointed” with Carano as he’d hoped he could help her keep her job. I’d imagine Pascal is also somewhat sad that despite them being friends he was unable to stop her detonating a landmine under her career.
It’s not known whether the pair are still in touch, but after this they’re on very different trajectories. The Mandalorian is now the core of a universe of Disney+ spinoffs and is now the flagship show of the entire Star Wars brand. This will mean Pascal is in high demand, with the third season apparently set to show Din Djarin entangled in Mandalorian politics with Bo Katan.
Meanwhile, Carano is said to be blacklisted in Hollywood and has been relegated to making movies with Ben Shapiro designed to fight against “leftist causes”, presumably pushing back on issues like access to healthcare, racial equality, and an increased minimum wage.
Perhaps one day the pair will appear on screen together again, but their time journeying through the galaxy on The Mandalorian will fast become a distant memory.
