She Would Bring The Right Star-Power To The Film
In recent years, Anya Taylor-Joy has been cast in what seems to be an endless number of films and TV shows. She has starred in blockbusters such asFuriosa: A Mad Max SagaandTheQueen’s Gambit,each drastically different and showing the incredible range the actress has. Regardless of what she is cast in,Taylor-Joy brings everything to her roles, something that even extends to her voice acting performance with rolessuch as Princess Peach inThe Super Mario Bros. Movie.
A performance from Taylor-Joy could really be anything, and that is part of the reason it would be so exciting. She would be more than capable of bringing the energy to Amy Rose that she is so well-known for, constantly following Sonic throughout his adventures. She could even put a new spin on the character, doing something with Amy’s personality or character that has not been done before.
8Bailey Bass
She Is A Newer Actress That Would Be Perfect For The Role
Even though she has not been acting for long,Bailey Bass has already made major strides in her career.Known best for playing the character of Claudia in the first season ofInterview with the Vampire,she also played the character of Tsireya inAvatar: The Way of Water.She has already proved that she has an incredible talent for acting, one that could very easily lend itself to voice acting as well.
Amy Rose first appeared in 1993’sSonic CD.
She is youthful herself, something that generally comes across with any performance of Amy Rose.Not only that, but she has a certain visceral emotion in her acting,something that Bass perfects with the role of Claudia, showing how the character grows and ages decades across the episodes through her acting alone. She is incredibly talented and would make the perfect addition to theSonic the Hedgehog 4cast.
7Kristen Bell
The Good Place Star Has Done Some Iconic Voice Roles
Famously playing the character of Eleanor Shellstrop in the hit TV comedy seriesThe Good Place,Kristen Bell has also played roles in several romantic comedies.She has been in classics such asGossip GirlandVeronica Mars,building an incredible career in formulating strong characters.

Kristen Bell shares her pick for which actor should play Princess Anna should Disney ever decide to adapt Frozen into a live-action movie.
This sort of characterization is perfect for the character of Amy Rose, a character who is known for her almost stubborn sort of attitude and her strength. Bell would be the right choice to pull this off, doing so with the practiced ease of someone who has done voice acting for massive projects before. If she were to be chosen for the role of Amy Rose, the character would be in good hands.
6Alison Brie
Beginning her acting career with a role on the Disney seriesHannah Montana,Alison Brie has gone on to have an amazing career. She has played stunning and passionate roles in shows likeMad MenandGLOW.Even Brie’s voice acting credits have range, withThe Lego MovieandBoJack Horsemanbeing her two most notable.
Not only would her name bring star power to the role of Amy Rose, but she would also bring experience. She has voice-acted in several projects before, each with incredibly different characters, showing that she has the talent to change her voice to fit a character. She would bring Amy Rose to the screen as opposed to simply lending her voice to the character.

She Has Played Many Energetic Voice Roles

This has been evident both in live-action roles, including parts inOrange Is the New Blackand her wealth of voice acting roles. These numerous roles include Peni Parker inSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verseand Niffty in the musical comedyHazbin Hotel.
More than anything, Glenn has experience in voice-acting characters that, like Amy Rose, are youthful and often tightly strung. Not only would she be able to match the character’s seemingly endless energy, butshe would also be able to show the range of emotion present in these characters that can so often be written as one note.This is important to note, as Amy has been written as a one-note character in the past.
4Anna Kendrick
She Has Come A Long Way Since Starring In Pitch Perfect
After starring in the comedy filmPitch Perfectin 2012, Anna Kendrick shot to stardom that, until this point, her career had not yet reached. She has since starred in a variety of different films, including the satiricalA Simple Favorand the recent Netflix thriller, and her directorial debutWoman of the Hour.With the differences between her roles, it seems that Kendrick has mastered both comedy and thrillers.
She has also become a noteworthy voice actor, with her role in theTrollsfranchise reaching direct acclaim.Kendrick is charming in both her spoken and musical performance, something that would be perfect for Amy Rose.Though Amy does not really sing throughout the franchise, she is known for her charm, and Kendrick has that in spades.
3Chloë Grace Moretz
She Has Appeared In Several Horror Movies
Although Chloë Grace Moretz is best known for her impassioned horror performances, she has a backlog of great acting showings across genres. She has appeared in action films such asKick-Assand biographical dramas such asBrain on Fire.Most recently,she has started to branch out into voice acting with roles such as Wednesday Addams inThe Addams Familyanimated film and the titular Nimona.
The character Nimona is very much like Amy Rose, both with her incredible energy and simply the sound of her voice. There is a certain grit there, something that has been a part of Amy Rose’s character for decades. This would make Moretz a perfect choice for the role, not only because of her talent but because her voice is a natural fit.
2Cindy Robinson
She Is The Modern Voice Actor For Amy Rose
One of the best choices to play the role of Amy Rose would be to cast someone who has already played her in the past. Most recently,in everything except for theSonic Primeseries, Amy Rose has been played by Cindy Robinson.This has been the case ever since the release ofSonic Free Riders,which was released over a decade ago in 2010.
Who Is Amy Rose? Sonic The Hedgehog Ally, Video Game History & Movie Future Explained
Amy Rose is a major character from the video games who makes a surprise appearance in the post-credits scene of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to save Sonic.
This would not be the first case of this happening with theSonic the Hedgehogfilms.The voice actress who plays Miles “Tails” Prower, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, has played the character of Tails sinceSonic Boom: Rise of Lyricand played the character of Charmy Bee even earlier. It would only make sense if the character of Amy was played by the same voice actress that plays her in the games, keeping her voice consistent.
1Lisa Ortiz
She Played Amy Rose In The Iconic Show Sonic X
Lisa Ortiz has also played the character of Amy Rose before, serving as her voice before Cindy Robinson did.

Playing the character from 2005-2010,Lisa Ortiz served as the voice of the character for a generation of kids.If she were to make a return, it would delight new and returning fans alike, serving as a fun easter egg for old fans and providing a fitting voice for the character of Amy Rose for any new fans. Lisa Ortiz would be the perfect choice for Amy Rose, and she would be fantastic to listen to on the big screen forSonic the Hedgehog 4.
