It's hard to imagine anybody other than Chris Evans taking on the role of Captain America. However, Daredevil Season 3 actor Wilson Bethel has just revealed that the Avengers: Infinity War star was not Marvel's original choice.
Bethel recently spoke to ComicBook.com where he admitted that he auditioned for the role of Steve Rogers. The Daredevil Season 3 star did so well in the auditions that he actually got to wear the Captain America suit.
Things were going so well for Bethel. However, Marvel decided to hire a different actor for the role.
Although Bethel is clearly an amazing actor who could have done justice to Captain America, we'll have to agree with Marvel on their decision to go with Evans. Luckily for Bethel, he still landed an amazing role as Benjamin Poindexter in the Netflix series. The role of Bullseye could definitely give him more to work with and we're looking forward to seeing more of the villain soon.
Daredevil Season 3 premieres on Netflix on October 19.
