Morgan Freeman, arguably one of the world's finest film actors, is taking a double-dip into comic-based movies. He took a few minutes to describe his recent experiences with a genre he still can't fully comprehend.

In regards to "Wanted" Freeman said,

"My character is not easily defined even by me who is a master of character definition. I play a guy who ostensibly heads up...a guild of assassins. By guild we mean that it's old. And they have peculiar abilities. In other words, one guy shoots a rifle from five miles away and hits his target. There's no straight line in five miles."

He had less to say about his (yet unfinished) work on Christopher Nolan's Bat sequel The Dark Knight, in which he again takes up the role of Technical Genius Lucius Fox.

"The sequel," he mused. "Alec Guinness remarked one time that he made more money on those two [Star Wars] movies that he was just featured in than he'd made in his whole career and had little or nothing to do. That's what it's like."
