The Rock has praised Storm Shadow actor Lee Byung Hun's performance in GI Joe Retaliation. According to allkpop, The Rock was at a press conference in Taipei for his Journey 2 movie, and said the following about Lee:

“I became close with Lee Byung Hun as we filmed ‘G.I. Joe 2′. It was a really great experience being able to meet him. He has strong presence when he walks into a room. He had my attention as soon I saw him. We ate together, and got along great. He is humble, he is confident, and well plays his character in the movie. I really liked the way he pulled off his action scenes and he was impressed with his acting skills.”

In addition, on a more light-hearted note, Lee asked if they had to appear shirtless in a scene together, out of fear that The People's Champ would make him look bad:

“He asked me before we began filming if there was a scene where he needed to take my shirt off. There weren’t any that I remembered, and I asked him why he was asking. He said that he had a scene where he had to take his off, and if I take mine off, it would make him look bad. I just laughed when I heard him say that.”

Storm Shadow is said to don a hood in Retaliation, in addition to earlier rumors of a different costume(which has yet to be seen).
