I'd feel like they'd be represented in some kind of way in some other piece of childrens' media at least once prior, like a lot of reoccurring themes in Sentai/Rider are. If they are to go deeper and are explicitly pulling from Beowulf...wouldn't some kind of familiarity with the tale (like with Donbrothers) be preferred? I doubt a lot of children know of it. That's just my two cents, of course.
Well... It's a bit specific, but Toei/Bandai have touched on Norse Mythology before, in a way. With Digimon Frontier, a lot of Blitzmon's attacks referenced Thor; Garmmon and Velgrmon were based on creatures in Norse Mythology and BeoWolfmon sort of speaks for himself (Even if his and Garmmon's attack names were German). It isn't really much, but it is a well they've drawn from before... very slightly.
Anyway, as a Scandinavian, I personally would ADORE a Rider based on Nordic myths and stories. Again, it could simply be an in-name-only thing, sort of like Sigurd from Gaim or Odin from Ryuki. I'll even take the stereotypical horned helmets.
