Tom Cruise may have faded into Oblivion right after his divorce from Katie Holmes, but he's back in action now.

The actor walked his first post-split red carpet tonight, donning dark jeans and a tieless suede blazer-and-sweater combo for the London premiere of Jack Reacher at the Odeon Leicester Square.

Costars Rosamund Pike, who lit up the night in a bright yellow Alexander McQueen gown, was also in attendance, as were interested moviegoers Nicole Scherzinger and Formula One driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, and Tom Hardy and girlfriend Charlotte Riley.

Though he's been spotted here and there with daughter Suri, as well as on the set of the sci-fi thriller Oblivion, Cruise has been keeping a relatively low profile since his summertime split.

But, with Jack Reacher due in theaters Dec. 21, expect to see much more of Cruise in the coming weeks. Well, you know, if he wants people to go see his movie, starring Cruise in cruise control as a daredevil investigator who doesn't play by the rules on the hunt for some very bad people.

Holmes, who seemingly couldn't go anywhere without a paparazzi escort in the months following the divorce, finds herself in the spotlight most every night while performing on Broadway in Dead Accounts.
