jeremy rinner, michael fassbender or tom hardy as navarre
which one of these guys could pull off playing the cursed black knight/hero navarre if there is a ladyhawke reboot/remake in the works?
shareFassbender
shareI don't see Fassbender in that role, as I would expect a knight to be bulkier (just imagine the weight they had to carry around with the armour).
Jeremy Renner would be a good idea.
I think Tom Hardy has too much of a boyish charme to him.
My personal favourite would be Richard Armitage.
I could also see Gerard Butler.

I really don't like anyone new in the roles. But everyone the OP suggested would be awful and a pale comparison to Rutger Hauer. I like all those actors in general, but none of them could pull off Navarre. Hauer had the perfect combination of strength with vulnerability, and that's not easy to replicate. Also, Renner and Fassbender are simply too small and not sufficiently rugged-looking to play the role; and Hardy just isn't attractive enough.
Richard Armitage is actually the only suggestion for a recast that hasn't made me want to punch my computer screen. I REALLY don't want a remake, but if it HAD to be remade, he'd do the part justice. And Daniel Radcliffe would do justice to Mouse. And maybe Kiera Knightley as Isabeau (she's the go-to for historical fiction, after all).
But again, I really think the movie was perfect the first time and doesn't need to be remade.
I think Keira Knightly would be a little too tough for the role. Don't get me wrong she is extremely beautiful but not in the way Isabeau should be in my point of view, as Isabeau should have something angelic. I have always pictured Claire Danes or how about Olivia Wilde? Claire Forlaine would also be an idea.

Knightly is too light-weight to go up against Michelle Pfeifer.
Hard pass.
