Oscars golden girl Mikey Madison has the industry at her feet right now, and a source exclusively tells In Touch a host of Hollywood heavyweights are vying to work with her – including Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt

“Mikey is the It Girl right now. There’s a full-on bidding war brewing over who will sign her for her next movie and Tom and Brad are leading the charge,” the source says.

With the 25-year-old Scream star nabbing an Academy Award for her role in Anora, the two A-list hunks are out to attach her to one of their upcoming projects, especially considering her work ethic while playing Ani in the film.

“I certainly put quite a bit of pressure on myself to really buckle down and do the work. I dedicated all my time to it,” Mikey told WWD.

That fact wasn’t lost on Tom, 62, who boasts a seemingly-endless Mission: Impossible franchise at his fingertips. The source says he’s “always looking for the top talent to cast in his films or collaborate with, and he thinks Mikey’s the whole package.” A boundless ball of energy for the most part, the Top Gun star is predictably “very hyped up and pushing for meeting with her to talk about how they can team up.” 

On the other hand, “Brad’s just as eager to sign her up and it’s safe to say he’s in a much stronger position because of his company Plan B.” 

With his production company, Brad, 61, has put out not only hit after hit, but critically acclaimed Oscar-worthy movies, including Troy, The Departed, 12 Years a Slave, Moneyball, The Big Short, Selma and Moonlight, which is right up the new starlet’s alley as Mikey rises to the top of the industry. “He has access to so many different movies, so she’s going to have a lot on the table to choose from if she goes that direction,” the source explains.

Not to mention the two have teamed up before in Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood. Even though the tough guy Brad played ended up smashing in Mikey’s Manson girl-character’s face with a can of dog food in true Quentin Tarantino style, the two reportedly got along well during filming,

Though, Brad and Tom have a history, too — filled with personality clashes and A-list animosity going back three decades. The source notes their time spent working on Interview with the Vampire in the early 1990s was contentious at best and they haven’t collaborated since.

“Like most of Hollywood, they’ve reached out to congratulate her and to set up a meeting with her and her agents,” the source continues, “No doubt, this isn’t just about Mikey and her talent, it’s also about winning.”

The Meet Joe Black actor couldn’t stand his couch-jumping costar, saying, “There came a point during filming when I started really resenting him. He’s North Pole, I’m South,” about their time filming the Ann Rice-based horror flick.

“Brad and Tom are still very competitive with each other so it’s no surprise they’re butting heads over Mikey,” the insider confirms. “She is the hottest talent in town right now and they both see her as the prize.”
