4. Emma Mackey

Are we sure Margot Robbie doesn’t have a secret twin sister? Emma Mackey certainly seems to be her doppelganger! The resemblance between the two actresses is uncanny, and we can’t help but wonder if they’re related somehow. But more than just looking like Margot Robbie’s twin, Emma Mackey has some serious acting chops that make her a prime candidate for a role in the DC Universe.

If you haven’t already binged Netflix’s hit show Sex Education, then let us fill you in Emma Mackey plays Maeve Wiley, a quick-witted and sarcastic high school student who’s not afraid to speak her mind. Mackey’s performance on the show has been praised by critics and audiences alike, and it’s easy to see why. She brings a certain charm and vulnerability to her roles that make her incredibly likable.

But while Maeve Wiley may be a far cry from Zatanna, we have no doubt that Emma Mackey would be able to tackle the role with ease. Zatanna is a complex character with a rich history in the DC Universe. She’s a powerful magician and a member of the Justice League, and her abilities allow her to manipulate reality itself. Mackey has already proven that she’s capable of playing complex characters with depth and nuance, and we think she’d be a perfect fit for the role.

So, whether or not Margot Robbie has a long-lost twin, we’re just happy to have Emma Mackey in the acting world. With her talent and charisma, we’re sure she’ll continue to make a name for herself in the industry. And who knows? Maybe we’ll even see her donning Zatanna’s iconic top hat and fishnets in the future.
