Samantha Barks as Éponine, the Thénardiers ' daughter. Having previously played the role at the 25th Anniversary concert and in the West End production, Barks said "there was similarities in playing the role -- they 're the same character -- but Eponine in the novel and Eponine in the musical are two kind of different girls, so to me it was the thrill of merging those two together, to get something that still had that heart and soul that we all connect to in the musical, but also the awkward, self - loathing teenager that we see in the novel, trying to merge those two together. '' She found Jackman "fascinating to learn from, and I feel like that 's the way it should be done ''.
