Gina Carano's Lawsuit Against Disney Advances to 2025 Trial

A federal judge has denied Disney's attempts to delay proceedings in Carano's wrongful termination case, paving the way for a trial next year.

Gina Carano's lawsuit against Disney claims wrongful termination and sex discrimination following her 2021 firing from 'The Mandalorian'.
Disney's attempts to dismiss the case and delay proceedings have been denied by a federal judge, allowing the case to proceed to trial on September 29, 2025.
Carano, backed by Elon Musk, argues that her firing was unjust and seeks damages, as well as an injunction to be rehired in her role as Cara Dune.
The court's decision permits Carano to begin discovery, potentially revealing Disney's internal communications leading up to her termination.
Disney maintains that Carano's firing was justified due to her controversial social media comments, which they argue were harmful to their brand.
