Tend to agree. After the Depp v. Heard trial and all of the hoopla surrounding the Aquaman movies for Heard and then the Pirates of the Carribean series for Depp, studios have a lot of leeway in casting and whether to go ahead with production of each new installment in the series.CDUB98 said:
I have a suspicion that Disney will settle. I doubt her case is strong enough to win, but it is strong enough to be a thorn in their side.
You're probably right but she should walk away from it with a nice pay day. At least I hope so.CDUB98 said:

This is fantastic. I hope her lawyers break it off in Disney and she gets proper compensation for lost income and opportunities to further her career.BMX Bandit said:

Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm & there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural & religious identities are abhorrent & unacceptable."

Yeah but does that rise to the level of discrimnation in failing to hire her for future projects?captkirk said:
The public statement released by Disney when she was fired seems to have gone further than it should have to amplify the virtue signal. Hope she takes them for a bundleQuote:

A cute chick that was born in Dallas, TX and was one of the first high-profile female MMA fighters...who could kick most grown men's asses in her prime...and probably still today. And virtually all liberal males asses (not saying a lot obviously).Ellis Wyatt said:

She was also on American Gladiators back in the day - as one of the Gladiators.El Gallo Blanco said:A cute chick that was born in Dallas, TX and was one of the first high-profile female MMA fighters who could kick most grown men's asses in her prime...and probably still today.

Yes, I see the similarity to Depp's case. Having watched a lot of that case, the evidence about the casting and film deals was kind of shaky. That's the way the industry works. Actors, directors and producers get booted in pre-production often, sometimes even during production.Urban Ag said:
Would it not be similar to the Depp suit? Her career was ascending and Disney kicking her off the cast of the Mandalorian has clearly hurt her career. And Disney made a point as to say why, indirectly at best.

Trian's business model is to go into failing companies and revitalize them, a venture that it's quite successful at and which has quite a few big-name victories under its belt. Disney would be Trian's largest project yet, but before I can truly enact any control from within, it has to get its foot in the door.
This is a project that Peltz has been working on for some time as Trian has bought up dump truckloads of stocks and even received control of an incredibly large portion of stock from former Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter, a man Disney attempted to rid itself of after he resisted its new woke direction.

Meanwhile, Musk launched his own war against Disney which now features a massive lawsuit being filed by former Mandalorian actress Gina Carano after she was fired for less than honest reasons over a post she had on X. Musk invited others who were wrongfully terminated by Disney to join the lawsuit.
This caused many to ask why with some assuming Musk's move is pure vengeance for Disney pulling its advertising dollars off of X. Others, however, speculate that Musk is coming for Disney because he eventually wants to buy it with Musk himself fueling some of these rumors.

Now, both Musk and Peltz are making sure they're seen together, in person. As Variety reported, both men were seen on the red carpet premiere of the indie flick "Lola," in which Peltz's daughter has a role. They took a picture together which, by itself, could mean nothing. However, during an interview on the red carpet, Musk coyly joked that he was there to think on companies he could possibly acquire.

In Carano's newly filed lawsuit against The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm, her lawyer details how she was the victim of harassment. It specifically details that after she put the words "Beep bop, and boop" in her Twitter bio she was "subjected ... to long phone calls demanding an explanation and criticizing her for not embracing what some see as mandatory solidarity with a vocal element of the transgender activist community."
The lawsuit also details she was "required ... to meet with representatives of GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination), a national organization that promotes LGBTQ+ acceptance, something she willingly did."
After allegedly receiving positive feedback, The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm were not satisfied and "continued to demand a public apology. ... Defendants went so far as to try and convince Carano's publicist to force Carano to issue a statement admitting to mocking or insulting an entire group of people, which Carano had never done."
The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm also "rejected Carano's proposed alternate statement."
From there, "Carano went to donate to a GoFundMe page allegedly set up in support of the transgender community. When she opened the link, she read that the fund was supposedly created by a Lucasfilm creative and was directly targeting Carano, defaming her by accusing her of being a "bigoted" actress. Accordingly, Carano did not donate."
The lawsuit then alleges "Carano brought this to Lucasfilm's attention, who denied the GoFundMe account was established by any Lucasfilm employee. Shortly thereafter, the account was changed to call Carano "ignorant" and the identity of the organizer was changed to no longer identify a Lucasfilm employee."
It then reveals that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy wanted Carano to join a struggle session on ZOOM with her and 45 other employees "who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community."
The purpose of this struggle session, according to the lawsuit, "was a 'litmus test'" to determine if she had the "willingness to endure such harassment and humiliation."
The group was described by her publicist as "a friendly group that WANT Gina to succeed." However, multiple employees that were to take part in the struggle session had contributed to the GoFundMe campaign including Leslye Headland.
The lawsuit states, "several had contributed to the anti-Carano GoFundMe account, including filmmaker Leslye Headland, who was scheduled to produce a Star Wars production."
