Actress Gina Carano has had quite a bumpy career since she was fired from The Mandalorian. While the actress was once one of the most celebrated cast members of the hit Star Wars series, she was soon fired after posting various controversial opinions on social media. And despite being fired by her agent at the time, she’s still managed to keep her foot in the entertainment industry. With a new film titled Terror on the Prairie in production, it looks like she has her next project lined up. It’s been announced that Gina Carano will be joining the cast of the Hunter Biden biopic, My Son Hunter.
This news was revealed via Deadline, where they noted that the biopic “chronicles President Biden’s youngest son, and his party lifestyle as he acquired tens of millions of dollars from foreign entities owned by Chinese, Ukrainian and Russian oligarchs.”
As for who notable actress Gina Carano will be playing, they’ve described her My Son Hunter character as the following:
“Carano will play a world-weary secret service agent in the movie which is currently filming in Serbia.”
The other cast members announced for the project include Laurence Fox who will be playing Hunter Biden. Meanwhile, actor John James will be playing United States President Joe Biden. Producer Phelim McAleer gave the following statement:
“She is a world-weary secret service agent present at most of the Biden family’s dodgy dealings. She provides a voice of truth and Sardonic comedy over the absurd dealings of the Biden family and various Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian oligarchs,” they stated. “She is present throughout the film – commenting and sometimes narrating the absurd life and party lifestyle of Hunter Biden and the dodgy dealings of his father.”
Gina Carano stated the following:
“The story, the cast, the crew, the people, this is what makes art great and this is what we’re doing,” she began.
“I feel excited to be working with incredible actors, a visionary director and some new found friends as producers,” Carano continued. “The script was instantly intriguing and side achingly hilarious to me, especially after being newly exposed to the political realm in 2020. Robert Davi is someone who reached out to me as soon as I was ‘cancelled’ in Feb. 2021. I signed on in support of him and one of my favorite humans Laurence Fox. They both have always been actors I adore watching and now they both have become my friends and mentors. The icing on the cake was getting to meet John James, a wildly funny charismatic and lovable human. It is such a pleasure to be on the forefront of groundbreaking story telling.”
Director Robert Davi also noted that Gina Carano was cast for her believability as a woman who could protect Joe Biden. And considering Gina Carano’s past and ongoing work, it certainly makes sense. As such, it’ll be interesting to see how the film’s production moves forward.
