INFINITE PLAYLIST’s Kat Dennings To Play Human In THOR!!


I am – Hercules!!

Kenneth Branagh has cast as "Thor's" second human the fabulous Kat Dennings (“The 40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Charlie Bartlett,” “The House Bunny,” “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist”).

She’ll play Darcy, full-lipped pal of another human named Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). Jane will come to like Thor. A lot.

A third human, Nick Fury (Sam Jackson), hasn’t yet been announced for the cast.

I think everyone else in the cast so far play gods, among them Chris Hemsworth (“Star Trek”) as Thor, Tom Hiddleston ("Cranford") as Loki, Anthony Hopkins (“The Wolfman”) as Odin, Ray Stevenson (“Punisher: War Zone”) as Volstagg The Valiant, Stuart Townsend (“The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”) as Fandral, Tadanobu Asano (“Mongol”) as Hogun the Grim, and Idris Elba ("The Wire," "The Office," "RockNRolla") as Heimdall, guardian of Asgard.

Kenneth Branagh ("As You Like It," "Sleuth") directs the Marvel Comics saga from a screenplay by Mark Protosevich (“Poseidon,” “I Am Legend”) and Zack Stentz & Ashley Miller (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” “Fringe”).

Filming gets underway in January in anticipation of Paramount's May 20, 2011 release.
