From Disney+ to The Daily Wire. Only a day after Gina Carano was fired from the Star Wars series The Mandalorian, the actor announced a new film project.
“The Daily Wire is helping make one of my dreams — to develop and produce my own film — come true. I cried out and my prayer was answered. I am sending out a direct message of hope to everyone living in fear of cancellation by the totalitarian mob,” Carano told Deadline. “I have only just begun using my voice which is now freer than ever before, and I hope it inspires others to do the same. They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.”
Carano was fired by Disney after sharing a Tik Tok post comparing the treatment of conservatives in the present day US to the treatment of Jewish people in Nazi Germany.
“Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors…even by children. Because history is edited, most people today don’t realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views,” she wrote.
Her firing sparked a backlash from the conservative community, who called it an example of “cancel culture.”
Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro said they are excited to work with Carano following her exit from Disney.
“We could not be more excited to be working with Gina Carano, an incredible talent dumped by Disney and Lucasfilm for offending the authoritarian Hollywood Left. This is what Daily Wire exists to do: provide an alternative not just for consumers, but for creators who refuse to bow to the mob,” said Shapiro. “We’re eager to bring Gina’s talent to Americans who love her, and we’re just as eager to show Hollywood that if they want to keep cancelling those who think differently, they’ll just be helping us build the Xwing to take down their Death Star.”
Carano will develop, produce, and star in an upcoming film through Daily Wire. It will be released exclusively to members.
