Emma Watson or Kristen Stewart. Both are good actresses and would have a been a great fit.

I would have chosen Lily Collins personally. She has acting experience, is able to convey her emotions thoroughly. I also think she is a good example of the harsh beauty that is associated with Margo.

I think this gave Cara a chance to test out her acting shoes and for the most part, perhaps with more practice along the way, she'll be even better at it. I've seen repeated mentions of her having attitude problems but if that's the case then it's a nonissue, as seemingly most famous celebrities require an attitude adjustment. She carried off Margo's well, in my opinion. I actually think Emma Roberts would make a fantastic Margo - she plays diverse roles and always does so flawlessly.

I absolutely love Cara Delevingne but she has just started her acting career, so she does not have a lot of experience. I can see someone like Emma Watson, who has a lot of experience, play the role of Margo.

Cara carried off the role wonderfully, all things considered. I think Lily Collins would have been better suited to the role, however. She also would have been better received by audiences too.

I agree with previous comments, I think Anna Kendrick and Emma Watson would definitely suit the role of Margo. I would also add her Margot Robbie into the mix (not because the have the same name), because I think she has a similar energy to Margo in terms of being a mystery, because she played that sort of character in Focus with Will Smith. While not similar in personality, the characters both present a mystery.

If not Cara Delevinge I would love to have Zendaya. She'll do it great too.

If not Cara then I think I would pick young Natalie Portman. Emma Watson would be an excellent choice too.

I actually haven't seen the movie, but I did watch the trailer and felt like she plays the character perfectly. At this point, I can't really see anyone else play that role.
