Hayley Atwell plays the love interest to Steve Rogers in the film, and she sat down with Collider.com for an exclusive interview. This interview is full of fun little nuggets about the film, like for instance she mentions how the original costumes in the movie were "futuristic." Really? Thank god they changed costume designers.
The other stand out, is that she mentions that the shield was the must have photo for the paparazzi. I would've thought the Cap's costume was, but I'm mistaken.
