《Star Wars: Starfighter》重磅傳出 Matt Smith 將加盟反派陣容
此番選角堪稱重磅；影片屬獨立冒險，時間點約落在《Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker》。Matt Smith 曾在《Doctor Who》以及近期在《House of the Dragon》中展現百變演技，早前已盛傳他將加盟《Star Wars》系列。事實上，他原本在《The Rise of Skywalker》但最終角色被刪減，令他今次終於正式加盟。
據悉，Smith 將與同樣確定演反派的 Mia Goth 同場對戲，兩位以刻畫複雜、扭曲且魅力十足角色見稱的演員聯手，勢必為據傳飾演同名星際戰機駕駛員的男主 Ryan Gosling 帶來強大火花。
影片由 Jonathan Tropper 執筆劇本，預計 9 月在英國開鏡，未來選角消息勢將接踵而來。憑藉頂尖卡司及把故事置於前所未涉足的《Star Wars》年代空白期，《Star Wars: Starfighter》勢必掀起新一輪文化熱潮，電影將於今年秋季正式開拍。

Disney settles Trump-supporting 'Star Wars' actor lawsuit
A "Star Wars" actor who sued Disney for firing her over inflammatory social media posts about the Holocaust, the pandemic and trans rights has reached a settlement with the Hollywood studio, the entertainment giant announced Thursday. Gina Carano, a prominent Donald Trump supporter who had a major role in the hit Disney+ series "The Mandalorian" until 2021, claimed wrongful termination in a lawsuit filed last year with the backing of billionaire Elon Musk. On Thursday, a spokesperson for Disney subsidiary Lucasfilm said the companies had "reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit." Disney "look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future," said a statement sent to AFP. Carano, an outspoken former martial arts fighter-turned-actor, was fired by Disney in 2021 for what the company at the time dubbed "abhorrent and unacceptable" social media posts "denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities." One post shared by Carano appeared to compare being a conservative in the United States to being Jewish in Nazi Germany. "Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews" because "the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews," the post said. "How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?" it concluded, with a graphic photo of a Jewish woman being beaten in Nazi Germany. Another post appeared to mock a person for wearing multiple masks during the Covid-19 pandemic in California. Carano had earlier enraged members of the trans community for writing on her Twitter profile that her preferred pronouns were "boop/bop/beep." - 'The truth shall set you free' - In her initial lawsuit, Carano said Disney had damaged her reputation and ability to find work in the future, after she had expressed personal political views that led to her being hounded by an "extreme progressive" online mob. The California lawsuit was funded by Musk's X, after Carano publicly replied to an open offer from the tech billionaire to help anyone fired after using his social media platform to exercise free speech. Carano previously claimed she lost a role on a planned "Mandalorian" spin-off called "Rangers of the New Republic" that would have been worth "$150,000 to $250,000 per episode." The Lucasfilm statement said Carano "was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect." Carano also supported Donald Trump's recent election campaign, speaking at a campaign rally in Las Vegas last year. Disney has become embroiled in the United States' so-called "culture wars" in recent years. In March, US regulators under the Trump administration announced an investigation into diversity efforts at the Walt Disney Company. Neither Disney nor Carano disclosed the terms of the agreement, but she appeared to allude to the lawsuit's settlement on her social media. "...and the truth shall set you free," Carano posted Thursday on X. amz/hg/jgc

Gina Carano reaches settlement with Disney, Lucasfilm over 'Mandalorian' firing
Disney and Lucasfilm said they have settled a lawsuit with actor Gina Carano, who sued the companies last year alleging she was wrongfully terminated from "The Mandalorian" in 2021. Carano filed a lawsuit in federal court in California in February 2024 alleging she was fired from her role on the show for voicing right-wing opinions on social media, and claiming she had suffered emotional damage and lost millions in income following the termination. She was seeking a court order that would require Lucasfilm to reinstate her or compensate her at least $75,000. The terms of the settlement were not immediately clear. The Lucasfilm statement said the agreement will "resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies." "Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect," Lucasfilm said. "With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future." Carano also announced the settlement in a statement via her agent, saying the deal "is the best outcome for all parties involved." "I am excited to flip the page and move onto the next chapter. My desires remain in the arts, which is where I hope you will join me," Carano said in the statement. She thanked Elon Musk, who she called "a man I've never met, who did this Good Samaritan deed for me in funding my lawsuit." At the time the suit was filed, Carano confirmed that Musk and X would provide financial backing for her suit, following through on an earlier Musk promise to foot the legal bill for any X users who said they had been discriminated against due to their activity on the social media platform. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the settlement. Carano, in the past, has posted on social media likening modern political divides to the Holocaust and mocking people who wore masks during the pandemic. She also appeared to suggest there was voter fraud during the 2016 presidential election. There has been no evidence of widespread fraud. She claimed in the suit that male colleagues that made similar comments were not held to the same standards.

Gina Carano settles legal dispute with Lucasfilm and Disney
Gina Carano has reached a legal settlement over her firing from The Mandalorian. The 43-year-old actress was fired from the hit TV series back in 2021, following a series of controversial posts on social media, but Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Company have now confirmed that they've reached a settlement agreement with Gina. In a statement given to Variety, a spokesperson said: "The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Gina Carano to resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the companies. "Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. With this lawsuit concluded, we look forward to identifying opportunities to work together with Ms. Carano in the near future." Gina previously hit out at Disney on social media, accusing the media giant of trying to "control" what their employees say in public. The actress wrote on X: "Disney has confirmed what has been known all along, they will fire you if you say anything they disagree with, even if they have to MISREPRESENT, MALIGN, and MISCHARACTERIZE you to do it. They are now on record letting everyone who works for them know that Disney will take any chance they get to control what you say, what you think or they will attempt to destroy your career. Glad we cleared that up. The First Amendment does not allow Disney to wantonly DISCRIMINATE, which is what they have done in my case and frankly have now admitted they did. If you ever wanted to know what today's 'Disney values' are, they just told you. (sic)" Gina has yet to release a statement in response to the legal settlement. However, she seemingly referred to the settlement agreement in a recent social media post. The actress - who was cast in The Mandalorian back in 2018 - wrote on X on Thursday (07.08.25): "… and the truth shall set you free."
