One of the main positives about rebooting a franchise is that most, if not all of the characters have to be played by new actors. Sometimes it's a down grade (for example Liv Tyler wasn't nearly as good a Betty Ross as Jennifer Connelly but she was in the better of the two Hulk movies), sometimes it's an upgrade (Ray Stevens was a much better Punisher than Thomas Jane who got stuck in a much worse movie) but it's always fun to speculate on who will get cast as what character.

For example just off the top of my head, if I were asked to cast a new Alfred I'd be tempted to go with Anthony Hopkins, Mark Margolis or Clive Owen.
