Colleen O’Shaughnessey to voice Miles “Tails” Prower in Sonic the Hedgehog 2

American voice actress Colleen O’Shaughnessey will voice Miles “Tails” Prower in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in a tweet published today.

Sources close to the movie’s production told Tails’ Channel that O’Shaughnessey was long held in consideration to voice the flying fox in the sequel, following a cameo appearance in the first Sonic film.

Despite a public declaration that she “wasn’t finished” voicing Tails, community rumours began to cast doubt about her reprisal in favour for a big name, as it was the case for Knuckles the Echidna.

After voicing Charmy Bee since 2010, O’Shaughnessey made her debut as the voice of Tails in 2014’s Sonic Boom cartoon, succeeding Kate Higgins. Higgins briefly returned to voice the fox once more in this year’s Sonic Colours: Rise of the Wisps.
