Not bad, except RDJ. Jackman is too short.
Add Dwayne Johnson, Timothy Oliphant and Karl Urban, as previously mentioned.
How about Russell Crowe?

Another point - would the iconic S&W 29 be replaced by another big caliber gun? Perhaps an S&W 500 or a Deagle 50?

Lots of good suggestions here...so glad they outnumber the bad ones.

My hypothetical would be Bryan Cranston. I think, if nothing else, he has the voice and presence for it.

I freely admit I am influenced solely by Breaking Bad on that one.

Then:

a bit older at the time, but combine his characters from The Wild Bunch and The Poseidon Adventure you get a quite believable Ernest Borgnine

Now? A few more:

Guy Pearce (playing an opposite-day Ed Exley)

We would have to go outside of Hollywood.

Since Chris Kyle is no longer with us, I'd say Marcus Luttrell. If not him, someone of that caliber.

Dirty Harry Colombo for the win.

Pardon me, I just have one more thing you see, now I must admit this has all been very exciting, Oh very exciting indeed. Fact of the matter Mrs Colombo won't believe it when I tell her at dinner tonight. Forgive, but in this excitement I seem to have forgotten just how many shots I have fired. Five, maybe it was six? Honestly can't say. However this revolver I am holding, you do see the revolver here, yes? Good, good, as I was saying this revolver has a lot of power. Unbelievable amounts I tell you. Why if I were to shoot at you it would most likely take your head clean off. How 'bout that huh? Clean off. So you see in this case I must ask you just one last question, last one then I will go, however my boss wouldn't be happy unless I ask you this...how lucky do you feel today, sir? Scale one to ten...

Speaking of Magnum, maybe Tom Selleck? He's old enough to be a credible pissy old detective who hates the new rules, and knows how to play an action role.

He's "one of us", too.

View Quote

Would it? Probably. Should it? No. Even now, .44 magnum is the biggest gun I have heard of a cop carrying, and that is not common. Anyone who has shot one knows why. Not only is it enough of a handful to be tough to get good with, the weight gets uncomfortable REAL fast. Add the extra weight of a .500, .460 or Desert Eagle and you've got a problem. I carried a Desert Eagle. Once. For almost half an hour. And mine was the lightweight alloy frame.

Harry carried a .44mag when all other cops carried a .357, so going bigger would be his style.

He died at age 63 in 1987. Sure he would not have made it to "The Dead Pool" but the first Dirty Harry was 1971.. Magnum Force was 73 and The Enforcer was 76.
Lee Marvin could have easily could have done the part.

But keep in mind, according to Magnum Force, he loaded it with .44 Specials. Put magnums in it and he's still packing more power than most. Yes, Harry would carry bigger than the other guys, but we need to keep the movie credible(if a remake must happen), and I can't imagine an actor being credible in that role carrying one of the new super guns. Shit, even I have people ask why I'd ever want a gun as big as a .44, and I like them for hunting deer.
