Not saying this movie needs a remake, but it's fun to think of who could fill the shoes.

Bearclaw - Anthony Hopkins
Delgue - Benecio Del Toro
Johnson - Chris Hemsworth

I've watched this movie dozens of times over the years - always been a favorite. It's so iconic with great performances, I'd have a lot of difficulty casting a remake. I'll go as far to say I agree with your choice of Hemsworth as Johnson, though. Hopkins would seem the ideal candidate for Bearclaw - but I still have Hopkins indelibly typecast in my mind as Hannibal Lecter, despite having played so many other great characters in movies over the years.

Movie executives aren't exactly combing through IMDb message boards looking for ideas, ya know. It's just an interesting thought. Think if you could decide the cast for the new movie if it was made today...
