New DEATH NOTE Poster Provides Our First Proper Glimpse Of Willem Dafoe As Ryuk The Shinigami
Death Note director Adam Wingard has shared a new poster for his upcoming live-action adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba & Takeshi Obata's classic manga, and it gives us a much better look at Ryuk...
Though we did get a shadowy first look at Ryuk in the trailer for Adam Wingard's Death Note back in March, the director has now shared a new poster for the upcoming Netflix adaptation, which gives fans a much better idea of what to expect from Willem Dafoe's take on the shinigami.
For those unfamiliar with the story, Death Note follows a student named Light Turner (Nat Wolff) who uncovers a mysterious notebook that kills people if their name is written in it.
Also starring Margaret Qualley as Mia Sutton, Keith Stanfield as “L,” Paul Nakauchi as Watari and Shea Whigham as James Turner, Death Note hits Netflix on August 25.
