John DiMaggio has confirmed he will return to the reboot of Futurama completing the final piece of all the original cast members to return after fighting Disney over MORE pay but DOESN'T say if the other cast members got a pay increase as well!!

He voices the popular robot character, Bender and is the last original cast member to sign up after his dispute over pay went viral last month when fans noticed he was missing when the announcement was made

He made a u-turn after initially stating he was not coming back over the pay and said "it's about self-respect" that voice actors do not get paid as they should today even though his other co-stars accepted the pay offered by Disney which he was the only one who soundly rejected.

A couple weeks later, he didn't insist on wanting more pay than his other cast members but that "all" of them should get paid more though he wouldn't confirm if they got a bump in pay either!!

He posted the update "I"M BACK, BABY! So damn grateful for the love and support of fans and colleagues alike during this whole time (especially my wife, Kate) and i cannot wait to get back to work with my Futurama family. #Bendergate is officially over, so put it on the back of a shelf behind Xmas decorations or maybe in that kitchen drawer with all other **** you put in there like unusable crazy glue or maybe even put it in a jar you save farts in. I"M BACK, BABY! BITE MY SHINY ASS"

Matt Groening and David X. Cohen also shared the happy news and thanked him for returning for the FOURTH time after several cancellations prior

Do you think he was greedy?
