Wilson Bethel, the cast of Bullseye's role in the third season of Daredevil, had another chance at the Marvel Universe in the past. It was a big one.

According to an interview with Comicbook.com, corroborated by CinemaBlend, Bethel was, once upon a time, ready for the role of Captain America in the Marvel film universe, the role eventually taken over by Chris Evans. He was also on the verge of winning the Star Award.

"I mean it was both, probably the most exciting time of my life and also the most devastating when it did not happen. But yes, it was eight years ago now, said Bethel. "They put me in the cap suit and did everything. So, I tested it at Marvel with several other guys. They ended up releasing all the other guys … I met Joe Johnson to discuss the role and see the storyboards. So it is this senseless period where, during this time, I sort of thought that I was going to get the role. In fact, I test the test again a second time a month later, the day of my birthday.

"And then, I think it's a day or two later that they announced Chris Evans got the role," he added.

It's fascinating to see how some actors are about to become major players in modern film history before they really get there. And it's even more interesting when these same actors end up being involved. Bethel may not have been named Cape, but he got his place in the Marvel Universe. It could be a very good one, actually.
