\n\tParamount Pictures\u2019 Sonic the Hedgehog<\/a> franchise has found the voice for its Amy Rose.<\/p>\n

\n\tKirsten Bell has closed a deal to voice the character in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, the latest in the studio\u2019s hit movie hit based on the Sega video games.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe franchise keeps adding bold-faced names to the voicecast with each entry. Bell now joins series stalwarts\u00a0Ben Schwartz, who voices Sonic; Idris Elba, who voices Knuckles and joined in Sonic 2; and Keanu Reeves, who voices Shadow as of Sonic 3.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe live-action actors in the franchise are Jim Carrey as the villainous Dr. Robotnik, Lee Majdoub as Agent Stone, his loyal assistant, along with James Marsden and Tika Sumpter, who play Sonic\u2019s adopted family parental figures. Most are expected to return to reprise their parts.<\/p>\n

\n\tJeff Fowler, who directed the previous three movies, is back in the helmer\u2019s chair for this one. Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher of Original Films and Toru Nakahara return as producers.<\/p>\n

\n\tParamount has scheduled a March 19, 2027 release date for what has become one of its marquee money making film franchises of the 2020s. The three movies have surpassed $1 billion at the global box office, with the latest installment becoming the highest-grossing film in the series, earning over $490 million.<\/p>\n

\n\tPlot details are being kept in the console.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the games, Rose is a pink hedgehog and Sonic\u2019s would-be girlfriend, whether he knows it or not.<\/p>\n

\n\tParamount has been using each movie\u2019s mid-credits scene to tease the main character that would be featured in the follow-up movie. In Sonic 3\u2019s credits, Sonic is being chased by an army of Metal Sonics, only to be suddenly saved by Rose.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter THR broke the news of the voicecasting, Schwartz posted on Instagram a photo of himself and Bell with their respective characters. <\/p>\n

\n\tBell, who stars and exec produces the buzzy Netflix comedy series, Nobody Wants This, already has a thriving voicework career, thanks to playing Anna in the Disney\u2019s Frozen movies. Those films earned her the distinction as a Disney Legend inside the studio and is a role which she will reprise for a third and fourth outing.<\/p>\n

\n\tBell is set to reprise her role as Joanne in season three of Nobody Wants This and will star as Mrs. Claus opposite David Harbour\u2019s Santa Claus in Universal\u2019s upcoming Christmas action comedy Violent Night 2.<\/p>\n

\n\tBell, who also hosts SAG-AFTRA\u2019s Actors Awards March 1, is repped by CAA and Schreck Rose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount Pictures\u2019 Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has found the voice for its Amy Rose.
