Reeves has a reputation of giving people gifts; he once bought expensive Rolex watches for his stunt doubles.

There isn’t much information on Yen’s character, but we have high hopes for his and Reeves’ chemistry.

Yen is suspected of playing the role of an old friend of Reeves who shares similar history and enemies.
