00:00Tom Cruise threatened by Pedro Pascal's rising star.
00:04Cutthroat competitor Tom Cruise has finally buried the hatchet with longtime rival Brad Pitt.
00:10And RadarOnline.com can reveal the megastars now in a tizzy over the new challenger to his title as the world's top-leading man, Fantastic Four hunk Pedro Pascal.
00:20Insiders said the 50-year-old Chilean-born heartthrob's recent string of hit movies, Materialists, Eddington, and the Fantastic Four, First Steps, has Cruise up in arms, especially since they're repped by the same talent shop, Creative Artists Agency.
00:36Pedro is pretty easygoing and couldn't care less, but Tom is not happy at all, said one insider.
00:42He takes his crown as the world's biggest star very seriously and can be typically ultra-intense about it.
00:47Another source noted, being the biggest male movie star represented by CAA is important to Tom, and he's noticed how much energy the agency has thrown behind Pedro.
00:58That got Tom's attention, and not in a good way.
01:01As RadarOnline.com has reported, 63-year-old Tom was long locked in a duel with Brad Pitt over who was Tinseltown's biggest star.
01:09But sources said the ruthless rivalry ended when the interview with the vampire co-stars praised their friendship, and each other's most recent film.
01:18Tom graciously posed for photos with Brad on the red carpet at the London premiere of F1, said an insider.
01:24Brad, meanwhile, even dangled the possibility of working again with Tom.
01:28But while Cruise has made peace with Pitt, sources said he's now gunning for Pascal, who earned Emmy Award nominations in 2023 and 2025 for The Last of Us.
01:38Another insider said Pascal and Cruise have met, and there's no tension between the stars.
01:44Yet sources said Cruise is on a maniacal quest to keep the title of world's biggest actor, even risking his life with death-defying stunts.
01:53He broke a Guinness World Record while shooting his latest Mission Impossible flick by defying death 16 times, leaping out of a helicopter wearing a burning parachute.
02:02Tom will stop at absolutely nothing to stay on top, no matter the risks, said a source.
02:07It might kill him one day, but in his mind, at least he'll go out on top.
