Daredevil's Wilson Blethel aka Bullseye was in the running to play Captain AmericaOct 22 (AZINS) The latest season of Daredevil introduced Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter who eventually turns into comic book villain Bullseye.

Blethel has done a brilliant job with his role. But this is not the first time he was considered to play a Marvel character. While speaking to ComicBook.com, Blethel revealed that he actually auditioned to play Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Chris Evans, who plays Captain America in Marvel Studio movies, has become an integral part of MCU after stepping into the star-spangled suit. He began by appearing as Steve Rogers in Captain America: The First Avenger in 2011. At the time, Blethel's most credible work was a recurring role in The Young and the Restless.

"I mean that was both, probably the single most exciting time of my life and also the single most devastating when it didn't happen. But, yeah, that was eight years ago now. 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 (director) Joe Johnson to discuss the role and see storyboards. So, it was this insane period where during that time I kind of thought that maybe I was going to actually get the role. I actually screen-tested again a second time a month later on my birthday," Blethel told ComicBook.com

"I think it was like one or two days later that they made the announcement that Chris Evans got the part. So, to be perfectly honest, that was one of the hardest moments in my professional career. And it spun me out for a while, to be honest with you. But I'm also a firm believer that things happen as they're supposed to, and obviously, Chris did an incredible job in that role. And my life, while it hasn't brought me to lead the Avengers, has been really rich and rewarding in other ways. So, I can't spend too much time lamenting it. And honestly, just the fact that things have kind of come full circle in a way, and I still get to be a dude in a suit, is pretty exciting," the actor continued.

If not a morally right Captain America, Blethel is still in a suit from Marvel comic books. And may we add, has shown his acting chops to the world.
