Just when you thought the dust was beginning to settle over the dispute between Gina Carano and her former employers at Disney, an entirely new can of worms was opened when it was revealed that the Mouse House had pulled an episode of the Discovery Channel’s survival series Running Wild with Bear Grylls that featured the former Cara Dune as a guest star.
The discourse is clearly far from over, with Carano currently in the process of developing her own star vehicle having set up shop at The Daily Wire, which instantly makes it clear which demographic the mysterious project will be aiming to entice. For all intents and purposes, it could be a long time before the former MMA fighter secures another major role in a high profile movie or TV show, but insider Daniel Richtman is claiming that her personal and political opinions have been causing problems for close to a decade.
According to the tipster, Carano was fired from the Fast & Furious franchise because Universal knew back then that she could potentially cause some PR headaches. Of course, the actress was killed off in pretty spectacular fashion when her traitorous DSS agent Riley Hicks was harpooned out of a gigantic aircraft in retaliation for betraying the team of heroes, but it sounds as though Richtman is hinting that she was written out in a way that would make any future returns impossible.
Nobody really seemed to have a clue what Carano‘s beliefs were until all of the social media controversy began stirring up last year, so there’s no way to gauge how accurate this information is. Her Fast & Furious co-stars were full of praise at the time, and it would be awfully prescient of the studio to distance themselves from her eight years before she first ignited the first of many online firestorms.
