Emma.
Emma Woodhouse (Taylor-Joy) is a charming young English woman living in the 1800s. With little to fret about in her day-to-day life thanks to her father’s (Nighy) fortune, she entertains herself by meddling in other people’s relationships. Despite Emma’s often genuinely good intentions, her penchant for matchmaking tends to amuse no one but herself — that is, until she attempts to manipulate her governess Harriet’s (Goth) love life, a move that leads to a string of romantic propositions, with Emma at the center of them.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic (Schwartz) is a blue hedgehog capable of running at supersonic speeds and, thanks to a bag of extraterrestrial ring portals he was gifted, interplanetary travel.
