You can officially be jealous of Kat Dennings now. Not only does she have an infinite playlist, but now she has a theoretical superhero as a best friend. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dennings is in talks to join Woody Harrelson and Sandra Oh in “Defendor,” the directorial debut from Peter Stebbings.

Harrelson plays a man who believes he has a secret superhero identity — the Defendor of the title. Dennings will play a teenager he befriends — and who, I imagine, is the only one to believe him. Oh will be trading her “Grey’s Anatomy” scrubs for a different field of medicine, as she will play Harrelson’s psychiatrist.

Details on this film are rather scarce — is it a comedy? A drama? A combination of both? I’m hoping it’s a comedy, something in the style of “Mystery Men” and not a weepy study of the true nature of (super)heroism. The comic book/superhero genre is still too fragile and easily sneered at to start tackling the “K-Pax” kind of tales.

Industry Buzz: “Kat is a refreshing and remarkable actress,” says ‘Nick and Norah’ director Peter Sollett. “She’s unbound by what she thinks a director might be expecting of her, instead favoring unique interpretation of her character. She’s an independent-minded artist who is here to stay.”
