Hot off her role in Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Kat Dennings is in negotiations to join the cast of Defendor.

She is hoping to join Woody Harrelson and Sandra Oh in the film which tells the story of a regular guy who believes he has a secret superhero identity.

Dennings will play a teenager he befriends. It is being directed by Peter Stebbings; shooting will begin next month.
