“I was thrilled beyond, beyond,” said O’Shaughnessey when ComicBook.com asked about reprising the role in the movie. “There aren’t words that have been created yet to explain how amazing that felt. I mean, it’s just, ah! I’m over the moon, I’m so excited. And you’re right, we don’t typically get to continue those roles, and… I can’t believe it! And I’m so, so, so excited.”
You can check out the full interview embedded at the top of the article. Notably, it would seem like O’Shaughnessey will have the role for years to come as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 sets up the already announced sequel. There is also going to be a live-action series for Paramount+ focusing on Knuckles, though it’s unclear whether Tails could make an appearance.
As noted above, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was officially released in the United States in theaters last week. The sequel sees the return of the principal actors like Ben Schwartz as the voice of the eponymous hedgehog, James Marsden as Tom Wachowski, a police officer that befriends Sonic, and Jim Carrey as Dr. Robotnik, the franchise’s classic villain and scientist, as well as Idris Elba as the voice of Knuckles and Colleen O’Shaughnessey as the voice of Miles “Tails” Prower.
