Kat Dennings says she enjoys her role in the band for 'Thor: The Dark World' - that of the plucky comic relief.
'2 Broke Girls' star Kat Dennings doesn't get a super hero costume in her second foray into the super hero movie business.
The 27-year-old actress never got the chance to be kissed by Chris Hemsworth in 'Thor: The Dark World,' which opens Friday.

Her character, Darcy, the intern to Natalie Portman's Dr. Jane Foster, never even got promoted from comic relief to her own action star moment.
'I did get to do some action, I got kind of bruised up,' Dennings protests to the News at the film's London junket. 'But when I dove behind something, I am kind of pissed because you couldn't see me hit the ground. I did it so many time that I had bruises. You don't see me hit the street on film, I really did it, just so everybody knows.'

In fact, her biggest stunt may have been filming both the Marvel movie and her hit CBS sitcom at the same time on separate continents over a span of six months.
'What would happen is I would shoot three weeks, three episodes of the show and then we'd have a fourth week off,' she says. 'We'd finish shooting on a Tuesday night and I'd fly out Wednesday morning, I'd work seven days in London and then I'd fly home on the next Tuesday night and I'd be back at work on '2 Broke Girls' on Wednesday morning again.'

'Even when I was nauseous and had the flu and was jet-lagged, I knew it would be worth it when I saw the movie,' says Dennings.

Aside from jump starting her movie career into a whole different stratosphere, the 'Thor' movies have also given her the chance to impress one of the most important critics: her older brother, Geoffrey, a lifelong comic geek.
'He made me say all the names of his action figures,' says Dennings. 'So I had to memorize all of the names of the action figures, and once I did it, I was allowed in his room after that. He had like a hundred of them, but I did it.'
Just because she's nabbed a recurring role in a blockbuster super hero film franchise, doesn't mean she's ready to quit her day job - waitressing.
'I signed the old six-year contract on '2 Broke Girls' and we're in season three right now,' she says. 'But I really need that movie balance to survive in life.'
