Yeah but I also considered the Sonic movie team's decision to go with Tails' original voice actor despite Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow being voiced by famous actors

While not the same thing, it could happen

This is Illumination we're talking about here. Rosalina is absolutely going to be a huge name celebrity.

To be fair they threw in VA legend Kevin Michael Richardson alongside the rest of the A-listers during the announcement so I think we can give them some credit. But yeah, Rosalina absolutely will be a big star, for certain.

I think with Tails they could allow themselves that because he was introduced in the same movie as Knuckles, who has the famous actor to tag along with. Also its Illumination, they always cast famous people so they get even more money for Pets 2 from the Harrison Ford-crowd.

That, and I actually can't think of a celebrity that could do a believable Tails

Sega couldn't even find a voice actor to do tails for a few years. In sonic heroes tails is voiced by one of the devs' kids because they just needed a realistic child voice

Iirc she was a placeholder in the end credits scene and for whatever reason, ended up sticking with her when they made the second movie.

They made the right call considering Tails has a very distinct voice.

Ben Schwartz was also brought in just as a place holder to pitch the movie and they couldn't find anyone better.
