I love, love, love meeting Hayley Atwell! She's a down-to-earth sweetheart! Sure, her character wasn't fully explained, but Atwell did her best on-screen and in this interview. We talked about:

• The period piece setting of the film.
• What attracted her to making the superhero movie?
• Ginger Rogers once said that she could do anything Captain America could do, was she invoking the icon for the role?
• Would Ginger Rogers be proud of her?
• How did she prepare for the role?
• Peggy Carter's background
• The Marvel love interests as important parts of the various stories
• Changing gears, how was it kissing Chris Evans?

Here's more info on "Captain America: The First Avenger" from Yahoo:
