Gina Carano, Disney End Lawsuit, Prompting Questions About 'The Mandalorian & Grogu'

The case closed under confidential terms, leaving any role in the 2026 film unannounced.

Overview

Gina Carano resolved her dispute with Disney and Lucasfilm through a confidential settlement reported this year.
There is no announcement from Lucasfilm that Carano will appear in The Mandalorian & Grogu or elsewhere in Star Wars.
Carano was fired in 2021 after posts the company called “abhorrent and unacceptable,” and Cara Dune was written out as the Rangers of the New Republic spinoff was scrapped.
Coverage notes a muted response to the first trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is slated for May 2026 and stars Pedro Pascal with Sigourney Weaver, Jeremy Allen White, and Jonny Coyne.
Articles speculate about potential reshoots or a cameo to boost interest, while emphasizing there is no evidence the studio is pursuing Carano’s return.
