Tempest Shadow appearing in the show.

[CastletonSnob 3,023]

Do you think Tempest Shadow will appear in the show next season? After all, a seapony from the movie will be appearing in S8.

[Castle Bleck 19,163]

One can hope, though I think it would be hard AF to get Emily Blunt on a regular (or even semi-regular) basis.

[Megas 27,040]

I dunno, I think her story is mostly done, while I think more can be done with the other movie characters. Not against her coming back though

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

I doubt it, but I would suspect it should be somewhat routine it get someone who could sound similar to Emily Blount. They did the same for Genie for the Aladdin cartoon BTW.

[Thrond 3,257]

Neither of the hippogriff characters had as famous a voice actor as Emily Blunt. It's not impossible that we may see her return with a new voice, but otherwise, I highly doubt we'll see her return as soon as season 8. Maybe later, if the show lasts that long, but I wouldn't expect an Emily Blunt cameo for a good while. 

[SoberStarlight 906]

Doubt it. Since Sunset Shimmer hasn't appeared yet, I don't think it's likely.

BTW: I responded to your post of this exact question on Reddit! I'm @swingman792002 !

Doubtful since they'd have to negotiate emily blunt as a VA for more work.

[Hierok 11,829]

I think she is at best have a mention or a cameo without talking. The VA is way too expansive to get for the regular show.

A non-speaking cameo will help, or hire another V.As who sound similar. They changed Twilight parents voice anyway.

that was Dan Castellaneta aka The voice of Homer Simpson - it was hilarious though. The series and Return of Jafar are so out of place when slotted between the original film and King of Theives. 

I think maybe she'll get a background cameo because DHX loves the fans and panders quite often, but as a main story character, not at all. 

Besides I still think the movie is written back in S4 era MLP. So time paradox?

I wonder if this will be enough. Many fans would wan't her to have an important role and in order she must talk. Other VA's will do the trick.

[Steve Piranha 28,726]

I don't see why they can't make a guess appearance of movie characters (except the Storm King, he's kind of dead ). Problem lies of being able to hire any of their voices, as they are both more busy, and expensive. Hiring a impersonator sounds viable enough, but they don't exactly have a habit of changing voices . If they don't wanna go that route, they could develop them more indirectly, like introducing Spring Rain and Glitter Drops in Tempest's case

[Jeric 46,834]

If we are to believe that the film had such a modest budget that Hasbro is happy with results, then having her as a guest spot in one episode would not break the bank. Logic. At least not before Mary Popping Returns. That will probably put her as an A Lister if it does well. That said, scheduling is always the tricky part. But she is used to VA work so she may actually be able to do it all remote. 

And yes they can recast her or have a silent cameo. Any of these options is possible. 

[Ganondox 899]

I’d like to see her, but I doubt we’ll get more than a cameo, not just because of voice acting, but also due to previous precedent with the show featuring characters from movies. 

[Goat-kun 2,490]

Not having at least a mute appearance will be considered a crime in some states and I do believe the UN is working on a speech of resolute condemnation in case of her absence. Hiring another VA is also a valid option. Tempest should absolutely be saddled and put to work, so to speak.

Still wondering why the heck they haven't released their budget information yet.

In the magical world of mlp, "Stoned and shattered" is apparently not "Dead"

tempest's entire impact on the audience was due to her VA's depiction of her, to just try and replace her would be disastrous, most likely.

[Megas 27,040]

They'd need really good casting to help Tempest keep most of her charm and appeal, as recasting the wrong person can ruin a character. I mean look at how awful Galvatron's voice was after the movie, and that was Frank fucking Welker!

to be honest I've always disliked galvatron as a character anyways, its basically deleting a very good character (megatron) and replacing him with a being that looks KIND OF like him but is completely insane and lacks megatron's compelling aspects (Charisma to make his soldiers loyal to him, a compelling past and personal history with the hero)

[twilightsparkle3562 144]

How about Kazumi Evans?  She has a similar sound to Emily Blunt

Ehhhhhh not really canon so Storm King is ded bruhski

Anyway, I would like her to come back, but I doubt it would happen.

Personally, I hope not... I don't want to see any bridge between the movie and the show at all. 

[Adderbane 120]

They've already got already got a crowded cast of reformed unicorns to work with.

[Singe 2,109]

If there was something, it would likely be to help her cope with her broken horn. The best healer is back from limbo.

Hhm I dunno, I like to think that the movie is in a dimention all it's own, like Canterlot high, and the original equestria. I don't know how the writers will fit in the story line, since Starlight Glimmer's now a pretty prominent figure, and she only appeared in the credit sequence. The movie had started so long ago, I don't think the directors thought through where this all would fit.
