Tom Cruise is already back on set just hours after reaching a divorce settlement with estranged wife Katie Holmes.

The actor is currently in the middle of production on sci-fi movie Oblivion and was in Iceland filming when he got the news that Katie was ending their five-year marriage.

But now the legal wrangling over custody of their six-year-old daughter Suri is over, Tom left his home in Beverly Hills and headed to the mountain town to resume getting his scenes in the can.

A rep for the production told E! Online that Tom flew in on private jet to join the cast and crew in Mammoth on Monday and is expected to be there for a few days.

Katie's lawyers confirmed that the pair had reached a quick agreement and her lawyer Jonathan Wolfe said he was "thrilled" the 33-year-old actress can get on with her life now.

The former Dawson's Creek star is set to start production next week on her new film, Molly, about a single mother and her daughter which she co-wrote and is co-producing.

She is also due to start shooting Responsible Adults later this year with Chace Crawford.
