Gina Carano has reached a settlement with The Walt Disney Company regarding her lawsuit following her firing from the popular series, *The Mandalorian*. The mutual decision to dismiss the lawsuit was filed in court on **August 7, 2025**, effectively concluding her legal battle over her termination in **2021**.
The settlement marks a significant change in Carano’s relationship with Disney.

Notably, entrepreneur **Elon Musk** backed her financially during the legal proceedings, following his 2023 commitment to support users dismissed for their online statements.
In response to the settlement, Carano expressed her satisfaction, stating, “I have come to an agreement with Disney/Lucasfilm which I believe is the best outcome for all parties involved. I hope this brings some healing to the force.” She took to social media to thank Musk, her legal team, and her supporters, indicating her readiness to move forward in her career.
The settlement represents a turning point in an ongoing narrative around freedom of expression and corporate accountability in the entertainment industry. With the lawsuit now resolved, both parties have expressed optimism about the potential for future collaborative opportunities.
