​It seems that Gina Carano still might have some bad blood with Disney, even though they reached a settlement in August 2025 after she was fired from her role as Cara Dune in “The Mandalorian,” seemingly after controversial comments that she made during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Ahead of her MMA return against Ronda Rousey this May, Carano was asked to name a “Star Wars” actor who could survive a round in the octagon. Instead of naming one of her Mando-verse castmates, Carano decided to name a Marvel actor instead.. Gina Carano Seemingly Shades ‘Star Wars’ In Viral Exchange. Lumeimages / MEGA. TMZ caught up with Gina Carano outside of the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, where she was holding a press conference with Ronda Rousey to promote their May 16 MMA fight.
