Cruise, who has continued to film his sci-fi epic Oblivion while fans speculate on his shock divorce announcement, boarded a private plane at 3 o'clock in the morning, reports US Weekly, after spending extra days in Iceland filming additional scenes.

"Tom just wants to work hard and finish everything on time," a source explained to US over the weekend.

The actress is claiming in her divorce papers filed last week that she and Cruise are both residents of New York State. Holmes is seeking sole legal custody of Suri, with reports that she had concerns about her daughter being raised in Scientology.

Meanwhile, it was also reported by US Weekly that Cruise forbade Katie Holmes from appearing in a Dawson's Creek reunion, saying it would be "going backwards"...
