Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Monday called on Disney to use profits from its "Avengers: Endgame" record-breaking opening weekend to pay all employees "a middle class wage."

The Vermont senator and presidential candidate linked to a Bloomberg article on the superhero film’s opening weekend box office returns, an all-time high of $1.2 billion worldwide.

In a discussion and viral Twitter thread earlier this month, Roy Disney’s granddaughter Abigail Disney said Iger’s compensation "is insane" and called on the company to shift "some of the profits" to rank-and-file employees.

"There’s a point at which there’s just too much going around the top of the system into this class of people who — I’m sorry this is radical — have too much money," she said.
