Paramount Pictures has officially revealed the newest addition to the cast of the highly anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog Movie 3.
Kristen Bell, acclaimed for her performances as the voice of Anna in Disney’s Frozen franchise and as both star and producer of Netflix's Nobody Wants This, will lend her voice to the beloved character Amy Rose.
The announcement, confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, marks an exciting moment for both Sonic fans and moviegoers as Bell brings her considerable experience to the animated adaptation of the iconic Sega video game series. This high-profile casting comes as Paramount expands its successful Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise, which has already seen the release of two widely popular movies.
The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie debuted in February 2020, receiving both critical acclaim and commercial success, and was quickly followed by a sequel released in April 2022.
Together, they have propelled the series to over $725 million in global box office earnings, cementing Sonic's status as one of the most successful video game adaptations in cinematic history. In her new role, Kristen Bell takes on Amy Rose, a fan-favorite character who made her video game debut in Sonic CD in 1993.
Amy is well known for her energetic personality, unwavering determination, and her steadfast loyalty to Sonic.
Bell’s casting continues the franchise’s tradition of recruiting celebrated talent for its voice cast.
She joins Ben Schwartz, who will reprise his role as Sonic, alongside returning cast members from previous installments. Following the casting news, Ben Schwartz took to Instagram to share a commemorative photo with Kristen Bell.
The post included the pair posing alongside Funko Pop figures of their respective characters, serving as a warm welcome to Bell and building anticipation among fans for the next chapter in the Sonic film saga. Sonic the Hedgehog Movie 3 is part of Paramount’s sustained investment in the Sonic universe, with ongoing collaborations with Sega that extend to other projects and cross-media ventures.
With Kristen Bell joining the cast, the film is poised to capture an even wider audience when it arrives in theaters.
As the franchise continues to grow, both longtime Sega fans and newcomers alike will be watching closely as Sonic and Amy leap from the game console to the big screen. Stay tuned for further developments, including official release dates and additional casting updates, as production progresses on Sonic the Hedgehog Movie 3.
