The Mandalorian: Gina Carano, World’s Number 2 Star, Accuses Press of Running a Smear Campaign Against Her

Gina Carano, who plays The Mandalorian‘s Cara Dune, is similar to her on-screen character, saying exactly how she feels. Her recent comments on Twitter regarding voter fraud got her in a bit of hot water with fans who lean left. These fans went on a mission to have her fired or replaced on the show. Despite this, Carano’s stardom has risen quickly and she’s feeling very confident.

Carano fired back at these “fans”, and hyped up her character’s return in the show’s newest episode!

Acting next you was already a huge honor @TheCarlWeathers but being directed by you, instilled a calm confidence & fire. I loved seeing the sparkle in your eyes accompanied with that huge grin when you know we got it right. Thanks for being my coach.🔥 INCOMING!!!#TheMandalorian https://t.co/gcaJgIuIjt

And now, Carano is alleging a smear campaign against her, even though her stardom continues to rise. Carano is the number 2 star on the IMDB charts. Carano tweeted:

My friend, “Gee!! Your number 2 on the IMDB star meter even though the Hollywood press ran a whole smear campaign on you and you didn’t do one interview. Congrats you’re kicking ass!!!” 🤣😂 I guess it’s all about perspective. 🙏❤️ #ShamelessSelfpromoMonday pic.twitter.com/tVDf9AwvTx

Carano will have her own show on Disney+ with the new Rangers of the Republic. Dune will be taking her Ranger role all over the galaxy.

Publicly, it certainly appears that Carano has plenty of support for her character and to remain on the show. However, for as many positive posts, there are plenty of negative ones too. Here’s a mix of the fans who stand behind her and those who are looking for her to be let go. What do you think about all of this? Let us know in the comments!

So excited for this episode!!! Been patiently waiting for both of your returns!

So excited to see Cara Dune return tonight.
Your character was a great part of Season 1 and look forward to seeing her back.
Yourself and Carl Weathers were just among the great people on the show!!!

Dammit. Gina Carano is in the new episode of #Mandalorian I was hoping they’d leave that COVID denier out of this season. Maybe they’ll kill Cara Dune off. That’d make it better.

#Mandalorian Chapter 12 was pretty fun. I would’ve enjoyed it more if Gina Carano wasn’t in it.

Good for chapter 12, now let’s fire the racist character @ginacarano @disneyplus & @themandalorian should be ashamed of not making at least a statement. This thing is spreading lies about COVID that could risk thousands of more american lives #FireGinaCarano https://t.co/9a0F53p5LF
