Fourth Sonic movie casts Hollywood star as Amy, and she’s already already got quite the rep in voice acting, too

While we all wait for confirmation that Jim Carrey will return as Doctor Robotnik, the fourth Sonic the Hedgehog film has just announced another major role. Sonic actor Ben Schwartz revealed the news this afternoon that Amy Rose will be played by Kristen Bell in the upcoming sequel, which is currently slated for 2027. If you don't recognize her from TV shows like Gossip Girl, Veronica Mars, or The Good Place, then you've likely already heard her voice.https://twitter.com/rejectedjokes/status/2024183496823230522 Bell is the voice of Princess Anna in the Frozen movies, meaning she's likely got more than enough voice acting pedigree to handle a role like Amy Rose in the beloved Sonic franchise, which already has three successful titles over the past few years. I think theSonic movies are criminally underrated, and you can argue that they've only gotten better with each iteration. That said, I do think that Jim Carrey's Robotnik has been an integral part of all three, and he's currently unconfirmed for Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Still, Amy Rose joining the roster that already includes Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, along with human characters like James Marsden's Tom, is an exciting prospect. Amy was teased at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which also starred Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog. Amy is a cute pink hedgehog that has starred in several Sonic games and is often portrayed as his admirer. Growing up, I was a Sonic kid myself. I played the Mario games, but the Sonic titles were where I really got into the gaming lifestyle via the first three Sega Genesis titles, plus spin-offs likeSonic Spinball and Sonic 3D Blast. I'm thankful that these movies have been handled with care thus far, with most fans thrilled with how they've turned out. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is directed by Jeff Fowler, who directed the previous three films along with the Knuckles TV series on Paramount Plus. Now, let's just get Carrey back, and we can really have some fun. The post https://www.destructoid.com/sonic-hedgehog-4-movie-amy-rose-casting/ appeared first on Destructoid.
