McU star Chris Evans has recently received an outpouring of tributes from the Marvel fanbase after he seemingly implied that Avengers 4 will serve as his last big screen outing in the role of Captain America, but going by recent comments from Daredevil’s Wilson Bethel, we could’ve been watching a very different Steve Rogers on our screens for all these years if things had just turned out a little differently.
Speaking to ComicBook.com, Wilson recalled how he himself came excruciatingly close to landing the lead role in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, even getting as far as wearing the red, white, and blue costume.
“They put me in the Cap suit and did everything. So, I screen tested it at Marvel with a number of other guys. They ended up releasing all the other guys… I was meeting with [The First Avenger director] Joe Johnston to discuss the role and see storyboards.
