However, Travis Fimmel (Vikings) stars as Anduin Lothar, leader of the humans fearing the sudden arrival of these fierce orc invaders.

June 9-11: Shanghai Auto Expo
If you and your kids share a love for cars, this event is for you this weekend. This massive celebration of everything cars will have a main theme of electric vehicles.

As always, expect car show models to be out in full force.
