Warner Bros. at the time stated that these were standard reshoots and nothing major, and that Whedon would be doing little more that filling in for Snyder.

Fans of the anime have taken to Twitter to criticise director Adam Wingard, claiming his remake removes the Japanese element of the series by setting it in America with mostly white actors. Wingard responded on Twitter saying, “There is no conspiracy to remove Japanese culture from Death Note. Its [sic] a fresh version of the story set in Seattle. Also see The Departed.” Read more here.
