Voice Actress Colleen O'Shaughnessey Confirmed to Reprise Role as Voice of Tails in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is currently in post-production, as the family friendly sequel is due to hit theaters this spring. We already knew that Ben Schwartz was coming back to voice the little blue speedster, and he is joined by returning cast members James Marsden as Tom, and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, as well as Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, and Lee Majdoub.
Idris Elba is joining the sequel as the character Knuckles, and voice actress Colleen O'Shaughnessey has officially joined the cast as Tails. O'Shaughnessey not only voiced the character in the post-credits scene from the first film, but has a history of voicing Tails in several TV series and projects over the years. So she is clearly the best choice for the job.
The unofficial synopsis for the film reads:
"After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is ready for more freedom, and Tom and Maddie agree to leave him home while they go on vacation. But, no sooner are they gone, when Dr. Robotnik comes back, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to both build and destroy civilizations. Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands."
