15 Actors Almost Cast In 2015's Biggest Movies

14. Margot Robbie - Cinderella (Cinderella)

The Role: The iconic Disney character, a beautiful, mistreated young woman who, of course, falls in love with a Prince and gets help from the Fairy Godmother to fulfill her destiny. What Happened: Robbie was in heavy consideration for the role, though due to an assortment of conflicts (scheduling and otherwise), she and a number of other actresses (including Emma Watson) were ditched in favour of young British up-and-comer Lily James. Who Should've Got The Part: James. For starters, Robbie is far, far too sexy for a role (or perhaps it's just the audience's perceived inability to separate her from her role in The Wolf Of Wall Street), whereas James is more conventionally beautiful in a way that's much more appropriate for youngsters. Plus, James has a more youthful look that suits the role better, whereas Robbie looks more mature, even though James is in fact over a year older than her.
