The dismissal of Gina Carano by Lucasfilm and Disney has already caused a lot of drama to unfold, and if some hoped that the controversy would quickly run out of steam, they were wrong. Social networks only make things worse between the two parties, and this time, some of Gina Carano’s detractors have directly attacked her ex, Henry Cavill.
When the dismissal of Gina Carano was announced, Internet users wondered if Pedro Pascal (Din Djarin) who had also written a few controversial tweets, would suffer the same fate. Gina Carano sent all of her support to actor friend, and until today, Pedro Pascal continues to be part of the show.
On Cara Dune’s aspect, we recently learned that the role won’t be recast. So one might think that the controversy would stop growing, but that’s not gonna happen so long as Cancel Cultures gather their expressive legions, which are now attacking Henry Cavill.
The hero of The Witcher dated Gina Carano more than seven years ago now, and despite his accomplishments, the actor was ambushed by Twitter users after Gina Carano was fired. Internet users compare them for example to Stormfront and Homelander from The Boys :
Henry Cavill dated @ginacarano… you know what that means? #CancelHenryCavill #CancelDisneyPlus #FireGinaCarano

This wave of attacks against Henry Cavillhas also led some Internet users to criticize him for his attitude on social networks :
"hE's BuSy" – he has people hired for the very occasion of speaking on his behalf

"hE cAnT sAy AnYtHiNg" – a one-worded "congrats" is an apolitical response
"tOm WeLliNg tho"- Tom is not currently playing Superman in the DCEU, keep embarassing yourself
Most internet users don’t associate the two anymore, and the tweets you read represent a minority of fans opinions, although they do exist and are harsh towards the actor. While Henry Cavill has dated Gina Carano in the past, that doesn’t mean they both share the same ideals.
