Warcraft was originally set for release on December 18 last year, however its launch clashed with Star Wars: The Force Awakens and was subsequently postponed until June 2016.

Travis' History Channel series Vikings is now into its fourth season, where he stars as the lead role as Norse ruler Ragnar Lothbrok.
