29th September 2025 is the date that the trial between Gina Carano and Disney will be sat before a jury to determine whether or not her claims of wrongful dismissed and sexual discrimination will be upheld. Carano was famously last seen in the final episode of The Mandalorian season two, with her character of Cara Dune unseen onscreen since 2020. Deadline look at the events in closer detail.
“Having considered the parties’ submissions, the relevant law, and the record in this case, the Court DENIES the Motion,” U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett wrote earlier this week. In refusing to give the green light to Disney’s hopes of taking the matter to another court and overturning her July 24 decision rejecting their motion for dismissal, the ruling has set the clock ticking on the trial.
With this new order from Garnett allowing discovery to move forward, it means Carano and her lawyers will be getting a look soon-ish at what went on internally at Disney three years ago in the lead-up to the firing of the on-the-rise actress, who played Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune on The Mandalorian, over views she expressed on social media and otherwise.
A possible return for Carano – and Cara Dune – would certainly have an effect on what we see onscreen in the GFFA, so stay tuned for the outcome of this trial.
