This is painfully naïve. Carano has just been effectively blacklisted by the most powerful studio in the world and dropped from a very influential agency. That’s never good for anyone. She’s not mega-wealthy like Mel Gibson nor at the end of her career like Jon Voight. She’s still a struggling actress who is now persona non grata in Hollywood. Worse yet, she’s an action star who will be foreclosed from the two-biggest action franchises in Hollywood, Star Wars and Marvel, both of which are owned by Disney.

The political landscape is going to have to change significantly before her employment prospects improve. Obviously, this is horrible for her, but it will have a very chilling effect on other conservatives and even libertarians in Hollywood. This, of course, is exactly what Disney was ultimately trying to accomplish.

There is a lot of backlash at Disney for proving her point so for the average person, another example of hypocrisy.

As for Carano, her family is very well off financially and will find a job in some industry that will pay her well due to connections.

You may be right - she's potentially in a very tough spot as an actress. However, I would content that being effectively locked out of Star Wars and Marvel movies is probably if not a good thing, at least not a bad thing. Both franchises are pretty well played-out IMHO. Better she should connect with the next big action series or franchise, whatever that may be.

For example, I used to be a huge Star Wars and Marvel fan - now, I don't think I've even seen that last 2 or 3 offerings from either. Just not interested. Ditto Terminator - haven't seen the latest one (can't even recall the title) because the story lines are just played out and the PC direction of the studios is simply revolting. The Bond series is about there too. It is time for something new & different, she could be a part of that.
