Not Hancock. Hancock was already known to have superhuman strength. No one would have asked him how he stopped the van. So you need a movie featuring a super-strong character (I will verify that your conclusion there was correct) but whose super-strength was not common knowledge.
Clue: Odds are, you hate most things about this movie. That is, if demographics and Internet memes are instructive on the matter. Individual tastes may vary.
Chronicle and I Am Number 4 are closer in genre to the movie I'm thinking of than Unbreakable and Hancock. Much closer. But that's like Alpha Centauri being much closer to Earth than Sirius. Still pretty damn far away.
"Hey you're from Arizona right?"
"Yeah."
"Aren't people from Arizona supposed to be like, really tan?"
"Yeah, maybe, that's why they kicked me out."
One more hint: this is a RIDICULOUSLY popular movie that you've all heard of. If you haven't seen it, you probably say so with at least a hint of pride.

Crimson Tide?

I'm guessing that WW won't mind my adding a clue: the movie starred Danny Kaye. George

Once again, you posted a quote from a movie, where you could have posted 1/2 the script without me getting it, except for the one quote you posted. This was from early on in "Red Dawn."

Lawrence of Arabia it is.
It doesn't seem like it, but "It was written, then," was actually very, very funny. Depending on how warped your sense of humor is.

Those two quotes were in the same movie?
I'm picturing something like Game of Thrones crossed with Quick Change, so I will have to guess...
Ghostbusters II?

"Are you going to tell me how you stopped the van?"
"Yeah. Um... I had an adrenaline rush. It's very common. You can Google it."

Ok.
Sounds super-strong, and filmed since Google became popular.
"Hancock?"

Well, if he was strong enough to stop a moving van, I'm thinking it's not the photographer.
Thor shouldn't know about Google.
1/2 the Avengers don't have super-srength. Those that do are obvious
(like Iron Man's exoskeletal powered armor.)
So, is it the new "Man of Steel" I've been hearing scorching reviews about?

It is not any incarnation of Superman.

"Will you tell me the truth?"
"No, probably not. I'd rather hear your theories."
"I have considered radioactive spiders and kryptonite."
"All superhero stuff right? But what if I'm not the hero? What if I am the bad guy?"
"You're not."

If I can try a 2-for-1,
I'll go with "Unbreakable" and "I am Number 4."

Some movie about liberal kids? :lol:/>
(Now that "Unbreakable" is out, I have no idea.)
Wait -- how about "Chronicle"?

I don't know if there were any super-strong puppets in it, but

Mrs Wolf said she thinks it sounds like "Twilight."
Not that she's a fan or anything...

That would explain the strength and lack of tan...

Oddly enough, with the line about wondering if he's a good guy,
it reminded me of the "Angel" TV show, with David Boreanaz
as the titular vampire.

Actually, the line about the lack of a tan was directed at a non-vampire.
It is Twilight.
