As per the latest reports, Sonic The Hedgehog voice actress Colleen O'Shaughnessey (who plays Tails throughout the franchise) has opened up about a potential Tails spin-off project. Lately, the star expressed her willingness in an interview where she reportedly mentioned:

"I think you could absolutely do a spin-off with Tails. An origin story for Tails would be amazing, to see where he came from… a little baby Tails. I would love it. Is it of course amazing to have him with Sonic? For sure, because they are you know… a sidekick/hero combination. They work so well together. But I think it would be really neat to see where he came from. Why not?"

Sonic The Hedgehog franchise is an action-adventure adaptation of the video game series of the same name. Recently, the third film in the saga, Sonic The Hedgehog 3, garnered quite social media attention, especially owing to well-known faces like Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, and not to mention, the franchise stars Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz.

"He’s adorable. He’s smart, he’s clever, he’s earnest, he’s loyal… he’s your best friend, always. What you see is what you get. There’s no surreptitiousness… he’s not sneaking around, he’s not trying to get something out of you. What you see is what you get. And he’s just so dear. I just love him."
