Charlize Theron Is No Comic Book Geek, But She Promises 'Hancock' Is 'As Unusual As They Come'

If you believe the advertisements for "Hancock," the Will Smith superhero flick destined to dominate July 4th weekend, then Charlize Theron has got a thankless supporting role as Jason Bateman's wife. Never trust the ads. There's more going on with this quite original movie than meets the eye.

And the same can be said for the beautiful and statuesque Theron. She swears like a pirate and has a wickedly dark sense of humor that belies her sweet exterior. Plus, she's one of the most engaging interviews in the business if you find her ready to spar. That she was when MTV News caught up with her for the first time since a memorable March interview in which the Oscar winner revealed she'd never heard of "The Hills."

This time around, we couldn't help asking if she'd caught up on LC and Heidi, and whether she's still got the sexiest potty-mouth in Hollywood.

MTV: Is this as dark and realistic a superhero film as there can or should be?
