Do you think he deserves more money than the 2 other voice leads?


As news that Disney was reviving the popular animated series from Matt Groening, Futurama for Hulu, which would be its third revival, fans were delighted to hear it's making its return..and all cast members were returning except for one, John DiMaggio who played the popular character, BENDER!!

A source claims through DiMaggio's reps that he is refusing to return because he is being lowballed the offer and wants to get paid MORE than the 2 other voice actors, Billy West who voiced Phillip Fry, Dr Zoidberg and Professor Farnsworth and Katey Sagal who voiced Leela.

Tress MacNielle, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr and David Herman will also return but they have hit a standstill with DiMaggio for the popular character despite him wanting to return

The show follows Fry, a pizza delivery guy from NY who accidentally gets cryogenically frozen and woken up 1000 years in the future and his only descendant, Professor Farnsworth takes him and puts him to work on his delivery crew

Hulu announced it has ordered 20 new episodes to air in 2023.

They went out to West, Sagal and DiMaggio last year to begin negotiations where they sought to pay all 3 the same wage.

West and Sagal accepted byt DiMaggio's team did not and saw it not as competitive to the market or the legacy of the show and it fell apart after West and Sagal took the offer without consulting him.

They side counter offered with more competitive quotes and both sides couldn't come to an agreement as his offer would be bumped up more than the other 2.

A search for his replacement is still ongoing while the offer for him to return remains on the table as Disney does not want to pay him more than West and Sagal

Fans were not happy and have been calling for his return to voice the popular character as he is still willing and available to return assuming an agreement is reached..

Do you think he deserves more than West and Sagal?
