JUSTICE LEAGUE's Willem Dafoe Will Provide The Voice Of Ryuk The Shinigami In DEATH NOTE
Death Note fans weren't certain that the Ryuk character would appear in Adam Wingard's live-action adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's Manga, but this news obviously confirms he will...
Adam Wingard's (The Guest, You're Next) Netflix adaptation of Death Note has gained a very exciting new cast addition. According to Mashable, none other than Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man, Justice League) will provide the voice of Ryuk the Shinigami, or "Death God", in the live-action take on Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's story.
Ryuk is an extra-dimensional being who survives by killing humans to extend his own life, and out of boredom gives Light Yagami (Nat Wolff) the notebook that sets him on his murderous path.
