As the franchise continues to expand its roster of characters, Colleen O’Shaughnessey is weighing in on Charmy Bee’s potential inclusion in a futureSonic the Hedgehogmovie.Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s post-credits scenerevealed both Metal Sonic and Amy Rose as the next core characters in the franchise, expected to be the focus of the fourth movie. However, plenty of other characters from the franchise could also appear in the future, thanks to the video game series' lengthy roster. This includes Charmy, an excitable young bee who’s a core team member of the Chaotix, which includes Vector the Crocodile and Espio the Chameleon.
Speaking withScreenRantfor the digital release ofSonic the Hedgehog 3on December 21, O’Shaughnessey, who portrays Tails in theSonic the Hedgehogmovies and games,addressed the possibility of reprising her role as Charmy from the games in future movies. The voice actor explained how the bee has appeared in newer games more frequently, saying she’s open to the idea of returning for the role if he ever shows up in the films. Check out what O’Shaughnessey had to say below:
I mean, how cool would that be to get to have two characters? There’s been more Charmy in the games of late, so I feel like don’t count anything out. Who knows, that would be amazing. I would love it. I think that would be so very cool.
What O’Shaughnessey’s Statement Means For Charmy In Future Sonic The Hedgehog Movies
He’d Likely Show Up Alongside The Chaotix
Charmy first appeared in the 1995 spin-off gameKnuckles' Chaotix, debuting alongside the Detective Agency’s major characters. Since then, he’s continually appeared alongside Espio and Vector, acting as both a joyful supporter of the team, and an intuitive investigator. His latest mainline video game appearances include a cameo in the re-release compilationSonic Origins, and an appearance in the remastered version ofSonic Generations. While it’s unclear if he’ll show up in theupcomingSonic the Hedgehog 4, his appearances make him a viable candidate for future installments.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s post-credits scene introduces two new characters, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 can continue this character introduction trend.
If he does show up, then he’d also have to return as part of the detective trio, since his role is defined by his placement within the Chaotix. Given O’Shaughnessey already voices Tails,it would make sense for her to return as Charmy, offering another familiar voice to portray the character. However, since thecast ofSonic the Hedgehog 3includes celebrity voices, namely Idris Elba as Knuckles and Keanu Reeves as Shadow, his voice could be altered as well, despite his current game actor’s openness to portraying him.

It’d Make Sense For Him To Have A Familiar Voice
While Charmy could get recast if he shows up in the movies, O’Shaughnessey’s talent at bringing him to life in the games makes her a viable candidate for the character. Reprising her role wouldn’t be the first timeSonic the Hedgehogmovies featured an actor playing multiple roles, with Jim Carrey’s Ivo and Gerald Robotnik in the latest movie. Even though it’s unclear when he would show up, having a familiar voice could be a good idea when the young bee debuts.
