‘The Mandalorian’: After Gina Carano’s Firing, Will We See Cara Dune in Season 3? Jon Favreau responds

From the first moment there was talk of dismissal because various American media, including The Hollywood Reporter, assured it “They’ve been looking for a reason to fire her for months” and that his comments on social networks were “The drop that filled the glass”. Thus ended the galactic adventure of Gina Carano as Cara Dune, with Disney clarifies that at the time of the dispute, the actress was not employed by Lucasfilm and that there were no plans for her in the future. All following a certain Instagram story shared by Carano, an image with which he seems to insinuate that being a republican today is like being a Jew at the time of the Holocaust.

It’s been two years since #FireGinaCarano (fire Gina Carano) prompted by ‘Star Wars’ fans and the emphatic reaction of a representative of the aforementioned company: “Your social media posts, which denigrate people for their cultural and religious identities, they are abominable and unacceptable”. At that moment, the question immediately arose: what would happen to his character in “The Mandalorian”? The possibility of a recast was mentioned, that Disney decided to hire another actress to play Cara Dune, but that quickly lost strength in the face of the increasingly sensational refusal that came from some Lucasfilm sources: there were no plans to have a new interpreter bring the soldier of Alderaan to life. Now, after the calm after that storm has come, the unknown remains unresolved, a question that affects the future of the next Mandalorian episodes.

Cara Dune had a special role in the season 2 finale of ‘The Mandalorian’, teaming up with other galactic warriors like Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and Fennec (Ming-Na Wen); but not only that, although it was not confirmed, in his time everything pointed to the fact that his character was the protagonist of one of the spin-offs that was on the table ‘Rangers of the New Republic’. Thus, the departure of Carano orphaned the role of former Marshal Nevarro newly appointed ranger of the New Republic, complicating things for a season 3 that will have to explain his absence. Has he finally opted for a new face? Will the character have at least one closure? Jon Favreau didn’t want to give too much information about it but, In statements to eCartelera, he confirmed that the situation will not be ignored: it will be something that will be addressed in the series.

part of the plot

As is logical, Jon Favreau, co-creator of ‘The Mandalorian’ together with Dave Filoni, did not want to dwell on the question, but neither did he choose to avoid the question: Dear Dune is a question that is resolved in the third season of this television drama. Speaking of the season 2 finale, Said director preferred not to specify how they did it, whether they opted for a recast or not, but he wasn’t crazy either: “We’ve dealt with it in the series, so I don’t want to spoil anything.”. Concise but sincere. The future of Carano’s character will be revealed in the next episodes of the series led by Pedro Pascal, which premieres a new episode of its season 3 every Wednesday on Disney+ starting March 1.
