That being said I don't think it will be a musical or have characters singing
Can you name any remake of a musical that was not a musical as well? ever?

The only person I've ever thought could maybe play this role other than the great David Bowie is Gackt. There's just something about him that's always struck me that way. He's the right age for the role, can write his own music, and has acting experience. I'm just not sure how good his English is.

A darker version with Marilyn Manson as Jareth.

I really hate doing this but since you asked, Lee Pace.

Another choice could be Tom Hiddleston.

Wait I'm confused so is this going to be a sequel or a reboot. Cause I don't think enough people know the movie for it to warrant a sequel especially since it came out a while ago. Wouldn't the more practical thing be to reboot/remake the movie and adapt the ending to leave the possibility of making a sequel open?

Clearly you missed the Return to Labyrinth manga and the Labyrinth merchandise surge at Hot Topic about five years ago where they even sold a talking Jareth doll.

No I know about the manga but I didn't think this announced reboot was an adaptation of that. I thought it was a reboot of the original movie not the manga sequel.

It probably has nothing to do with the manga, honestly. The finale was pretty awful.

James Marsters
Blond, the right age and build for it and the Buffy fan base is built in.
Or David Tennant.

How about just NOT remaking it and letting the originl classic stand on it's on?

I doubt anyone else could pull off the costume and still look sexy. It might look silly or like a costume on anyone else. On Bowie, it looked great, like it was part of him.

I just realized how ironic it is that I suggested Prince only months before he died

Marilyn Manson. If he lost a little weight he could do it. He can act and sing.
Lee pace would be good too. His acting as the king of the elves in the hobbit reminded me of Bowie in labyrinth a little

I agree with the person who mentioned Jared Leto. As an actor and a singer, I can see him pulling off the role quite well.
But I think a proper sequel would be a better choice than a remake or reboot. If they went with Leto and also brought back Jennifer Connely, you'd have the Requiem for a Dream connection, and they seemed to work well together in that film. They could even have someone cast as an older Toby, perhaps searching for a way back to Jareth and the Labyrinth.

I could picture Alice Cooper playing The Goblin King.
