Sonic the Hedgehog is reportedly obsessed with one of the most successful MCU stars and they could potentially appear in the next film.
O’Shaughnessey recently spoke with ComicBook about her character from the popular franchise — Miles “Tails” Power. Paramount hasn’t announced any spinoffs yet, but O’Shaughnessey has expressed enthusiasm for a possible project for Tails. “I think you could absolutely do a spinoff with Tails,” she suggested. “An origin story for Tails would be amazing, to see where he came from… a little baby Tails. I would love it.” She also shared what she loved most about Tails. Apparently, it’s his character.
He’s adorable. He’s smart, he’s clever, he’s earnest, he’s loyal… he’s your best friend, always. What you see is what you get. There’s no surreptitiousness… he’s not sneaking around, he’s not trying to get something out of you. What you see is what you get. And he’s just so dear. I just love him.
O’Shaughnessey clarified that she still wanted to see Tails with Sonic. However, it would be great to give fans a concrete narrative of Tails’ rich backstory. “Is it of course amazing to have him with Sonic? For sure, because they are, you know… a sidekick/hero combination. They work so well together,” O’Shaughnessey added. “But I think it would be really neat to see where he came from. Why not?”
O’Shaughnessey and the rest of the cast members will return for a fourth Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Although there were only four films, with the first one released in 2020, O’Shaughnessy has been part of the franchise much longer. She has already voiced Tails for over 10 years across video games and TV shows. So, her take on the character is definitely worth considering, given that she has been associated with it for more than a decade. Tails is among the beloved characters in the Sonic franchise since his introduction in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in 1992. He is intelligent, curious and filled with enthusiasm. He is also relatable because he used to be too shy, so a spinoff could highlight his origins before he met Sonic and underscore his growth from being an inventor to a hero.
Tails’ story will surely resonate among audiences fond of personal growth. Additionally, they could include gadgets and machines in the spinoff to showcase Tails’ expertise in problem-solving and invention, giving fans a fresh take on the Sonic universe. Since Tails has a strong fanbase, a spinoff will surely appeal to many. Fans who have been following Tails are eager to learn more about him and there’s excitement at the possibility of Tails leading his journey because he has so much potential. While he is a great sidekick to Sonic, there is no doubt that he can also be an impressive lead if he is given his own platform.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 streams on Amazon Prime and Apple TV Plus.
