The actress slammed her “cancellation by the totalitarian mob” in a statement about the film.
Actress Gina Carano will produce and star in a movie for conservative commentator Ben Shapiro’s website The Daily Wire, the website announced Friday, as the performer finds favor on the right after being fired from Disney+ series The Mandalorian over controversial social media posts that likened Republicans’ treatment by Democrats to Nazi Germany. “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,” Carano said in a statement. “They can’t cancel us if we don’t let them.” Carano’s Instagram story that provoked her firing centered on Jewish people in Nazi Germany who were disavowed by their neighbors, asking, “How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?” The post sparked a quick backlash, with calls for Carano’s firing trending on social media before Lucasfilm made its statement.
