Daniel Day-Lewis as Macbeth
Isabelle Adjani as Lady Macbeth
I'd give a lot to see Day-Lewis do Shakespeare...
and it's always good to see Adjani.

This one will probably go over anyone else's head. I think it's a pretty underrated movie.
A Dangerous Method (1986)
Dir. Alan Parker
Carl Jung- Daniel Day-Lewis
Sabina Spielrein- Helena Bonham Carter
Sigmund Freud- Max Von Sydow

Day-Lewis did Shame. It's called The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
Edit: with the Alien: Covenant trailer I started thinking of recasting Prometheus in the mid 80s (in a world where it gets made instead of Cameron's sequel). I had Jeremy Irons as David but I guess you could substitute him with DDL.
He and Fassbender are like Chris Pratt and Kurt Russell to me. Natural analogues to each other.

Hmm, I'm not too sure on Bean. Aside from looks I don't think he's got what I'm talking about when it comes analogues.
Fassbender has a quality of work that sort of matches DDL, there's a similar intensity in the performances (though, yes, Day-Lewis is miles above his) and they both have somewhat similar careers.
Look this all depends on how you want to play this game. For me there's a kind of challenge in recasting movie while thinking "if this were made today/then, how could I do in a way that movie would end up about the same?"

Very interesting. The reason I had suggested Sean Bean was after I did the X-Men prequel trilogy with Bean as Magneto.
He'd be good for that, but I just wouldn't substitute him in another Fassbender role. Some parts are less challenging than other. Not that I'm saying Sean Bean is bad actor, just that he wouldn't fit in many others.
