‘The Mandalorian’ EPs Address Gina Carano’s Future As Cara Dune On The Series
etcanada.comExecutive producers Dave Filoni and Rick Famuyiwa have spoken out about the future of Gina Carano‘s character, Cara Dune, on The Mandalorian as the Star Wars spinoff returns with season 3.
In an interview with Deadline, the two acknowledged that the character still very much exists in the larger universe but that the series is focused on two characters: Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu. “Cara was a big part and continues as a character to be part of the world,” Famuyiwa said of the character, who was first introduced in season 1 and returned in season 2 before Carano was let go from the show.
Filoni also added that “it’s a big galaxy, and we have many characters in it — many characters are fighting for their screen time.
We’ll just have to see as the season unfolds what the adventures are, but it’s a great character, someone who was vital to Din Djarin’s beginnings; we’ll see if he has evolved beyond that.” After making controversial comments about the Jewish community and Nazi Germany in February 2021, it was quickly revealed that the actress was no longer “employed by Lucasfilm,” and that there were “no plans for her to be in the future” despite rumors that she was set to lead a previously announced spinoff, Rangers of the New Republic.
