Gina Carano left Disney’s The Mandalorian last month, leading to renewed claims of a so-called cancel culture within the entertainment industry (Ian West/PA)The CEO of The Walt Disney Company has dismissed claims the entertainment giant has a “black list” for conservatives. Claims of a so-called cancel culture within the entertainment industry resurfaced last month after it emerged the actress Gina Carano had left her role on Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian. LucasFilm said she was responsible for “abhorrent and unacceptable” social media posts. Instead, Mr Chapek said, it stands “for values that are universal: Values of respect, values of decency, values of integrity and values of inclusion”. Some fans of the franchise had called for her to be dismissed from the show for her social media posts and the hashtag #FireGinaCarano had trended.
