Contributors to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog are reporting that a new actress may stake her claim in the co-starring role of The Mandalorian character, Cara Dune. The role was previously played by former MMA star Gina Carano, who was fired from the show and released from her agency last week following backlash over a social media post equating being a conservative in 2021 to being Jewish in 1940s Germany.
After snagging the rights to sci-fi space-Nazi romp sequel, Iron Sky: The Coming Race, Vertical Entertainment has recurred on the radar once more this month with its forthcoming release of David Hackl’s new thriller, Daughter Of The Wolf.
The panel over at Star Wars Celebration this weekend for upcoming series, The Mandalorian, were reluctant to reveal any footage in the live-stream beyond the indoor crowd (save for the ones who braved it with their phones and leaked it on YouTube). Nevertheless, Disney/Lucasfilm proudly revealed several first looks at some of the key characters in costume via social media which you can view below.
Director David Hackl’s latest pic is well on the way after selling to a raft of territories at this year’s EFM in Berlin. The Gina Carano and Richard Dreyfuss-led Daughter Of The Wolf will have its day in North America on May 10 in theaters and VOD.
The film marks the latest activity for Minds Eye Entertainment and QME Entertainment in lieu of upcoming releases like Nicolas Cage thriller The Humanity Bureau next month and the June release of Christina Ricci/John Cusack pic, Distorted, and is also the third in a six-film slate for Minds Eye Entertainment and VMI Worldwide.
Carano is joined by John Hannah, Ryan Robbins and Dean S. Jagger with a limited theatrical and on-demand release on February 2, 2018. Catch the trailer!

Let’s face it. After losing Tony Jaa and Scott Adkins, a lot of fans were dimming from any enthusiasm they may have had earlier on for Radar Pictures’s now-current production of Kickboxer, a revamp the 1989 martial arts thriller of the same name. Thankfully though, things have been turning around with surprising announcements left and right, with a sprawling cast list led by martial artist and stuntman Alain Moussi making his big screen acting debut, and now, the roster just got even better.
Mixed martial arts sensation and action actress Gina Carano (Fast And Furious 6, In The Blood) is still up for a possible role in the new sci-fi actioner, The Opium War, as per an announcement earlier this year. This week however, production for the film which was once slated sometime between July and September has been pushed back to November according to a new report from Syracuse.
The film is being directed by Justin Steele from a script by Jeremy J. Levy and would join Carano with actor Stephen Lang in a story about a female astronaut who crash-lands and is offered a smuggling job that will pay for repairs to her ship. The film is part of a new job creation initiative stated back in March this year for the installation of a new nanohub on the campus of SUNY College Of Nanoscale Science And Engineering, to be occupied by Film House L.L.C. for the production of several films between now and next year.
Further announcements await regarding official info on the film and its other cast as pre-production is expected to kick off in October with filming to resume in November and December. Stay tuned for more info!
