Talking about the Death Note 2 cast, in Death Note fans saw actors like Nat Wolff, Margaret Qualle, Willem Dafoe, Shea Whigham, and Lakeith Stanfield. Many of the characters in the movie were killed, so fans may not be able to see the same cast again in Death Note 2. However, an interesting fact about the movie is that the movie itself is of supernatural nature and talks a lot about death. So fans might be able to see some old characters back in the movie. No announcements related to the actual cast of the film has been made as of now.
