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 Jane Foster, played by Natalie Portman.

There’s also word that Jeremy Renner, who is getting critical acclaim for his role in The Hurt Locker, may play Hawkeye. Superhero Hype is reporting that Renner is at the top of the casting list to play the hero with supreme archery skills.

After the Gotham Awards Renner fielded questions about the casting rumors. “I love the idea that Hawkeye’s really not a superhero. He’s just a man with a high skill set, so I can relate to (that). The Marvel guys are great for how they made Iron Man to be, ‘Oh, that’s actually plausible’ so I bought it and I love that. They’re really, really smart guys and I’d love to work for ‘em, and we’ll see if it works out.”

Already the cast of Thor includes Anthony Hopkins, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, with Kenneth Branagh directing.

Thor, scripted by Mark Protosevich, Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller, centers on a partly disabled med student who discovers his Norse god alter ego, the hammer-swinging Thor. Paramount will release the film on May 20, 2011.
