    UPDATE: According to Variety,  Kat Dennings roll is revealed.

     Kat Dennings ("Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist") has joined the cast of "Thor," the Marvel Studios production that begins production in January.

    Dennings will play Darcy, who works with Natalie Portman's Jane Foster character.



     
    No Caption Provided





    Ben Mortimer, over at HUG, reported today some interesting news that could help pin down who Kat Dennings will be playing in the upcoming Thor movie, information CV passed along yesterday after Natalie Portman let the news slip out. Ben connected the info to a casting call released by Spoilertv last month, that stated:
     
     

    [MARCY LEWIS]

    (20) Is a college student. Aloof, jaded beyond her years, she thought her internship with scientist Kate Spelling would be an easy 6 college credits. However, she's been stuck for months in this small New Mexico town and relegated to a wide range of unglamorous activities. Kate has been particularly hard on Marcy, making it her personal project to see that Marcy lives up to her potential. Marcy deals with her situation both by using subtle irony and by being an overt wiseass.

    Many of you may be thinking "Why post that one part? She could be playing someone else." As Ben reported, which I completely agree with, the last sentence of the casting call description nails it down. 

     Marcy deals with her situation both by using subtle irony and by being an overt wiseass.

    Sound familiar? Maybe like her part in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, or 40 Year Old Virgin? Now, again, this is all speculation. I said yesterday that my picks were for Hela or Enchantress, but from the sounds of this Marcy character's description, it looks like it's right up Kat's alley.

    I would Agree this is most likely this Marcy character because of what Natalie portman mentioned. When natalie portman said "im excited to work with my good friend Kat" I instantly thought, so Natalie's character will be in a scene with hela or enchantress? But this would make more sence to what she said, becuase they will be working more closly and more often together on set.
     
    So whos Enchantress then? Is Hela even in it? I remeber a rumor stating that Diora Baird was close to getting the role of enchantress but i really hope not. Just because i think Diora baird would make the best carol denvers/Ms. Marvel ha ha ha.  
     
    I' am getting more and more excited for this film, especially now that I read all the new Thor books, which brings me to another question, is Chris hemsworth playing both THOR and Blake? because the two look very different from each other in the books.
     
    Cheers all, have a good one

    Yep that's exactly what I'm thinking... 
    I guess the part is right for her... I just think that it would be better to have her play someone that actually appears in the comic books... instead of casting for character that might only have like 2 or 3 minutes of screen time!

    If they wanted to people for Blake & Thor all they have to do is have lightning bolt strike through special FX & switch actors so my guess is yes

    there sure does seem to be a lot of characters in this movie 
     
    I was under the impression that the movie was going to take place entirely in Asgard but with Jane Foster and whoever Kat Dennings is going to play it seems more like it will take place on Earth and Asgard 
     
    seems like a lot of ground to cover in a 2 hour movie

    There is something I'm confused about. I read on Wikipedia that Kevin Feige (Marvel Studios producer) stated that the film will be based on both Earth and Asgard, but that Dr. Donald Blake will not be included.  
     
    That confuses me for one reason. If there are no plans for Dr. Blake to be a character in the film, what could they do with Jane Foster (Portman's character)?

    This fits into the movie because Kat Dennings has been cast for the film. At least I think that what you're asking is why we're talking about Kat Dennings and the Thor film?

    @thorson: She's the plucky best friend there to make the movie not completely humorless, that's her only purpose. Seriously, her ONLY purpose.

    Kat's presence made not one iota of difference in the first movie and won't in the sequel, either.

    Kat is hotter than hell, though.
