Losing The Captain America's Role Was The Hardest Moment In Wilson Bethel's Career

Depending on how Avengers 4 goes, Chris Evans may be saying goodbye to his iconic role as Captain America after almost 10 years as the first Avenger. In the strenuous casting process that ended in Evans' favor years ago, there was another actor neck and neck. The actor makes his debut today on Marvel Television's Daredevil season 3 Bullseye, but there was a time when he lost his life. Bethel auditioned, screen tested, screen tested again and even wore Cap's following, leading him to believe he might be the leader of the MCU's Avengers, but you know what happened instead. In Bethel's words:

At the time when Wilson Bethel was auditioned for Captain America, he was a relative newcomer to the industry with just a few acting credits, so his ability to get close to nabbing the role is quite impressive. But Chris Evans had already finished a few successful films, so he was able to get a better bet for the studio in the early days of their expansive MCU. In Bethel's interview with ComicBook.com, he explained the casting process in depth, how do you think it works for you? for Steve Rogers.

To get rid of such a tough job, but it was tough enough, but Wilson Bethel has kept busy, mainly in the realm of television since Chris Evans has played Captain America on the big screen. Bethel is best known for his role on the CW's Hart of Dixie from 2011 to 2015, and has also been on the HBO miniseries Generation Kill, The Astronaut Wives Club and How to Get Away With Murder.

Eight years later, he makes his way back to the MCU as a compelling villain on Netflix's most successful television series, Daredevil. Wilson Bethel plays FBI Agent Benjamin Dex Poindexter, a.k.a Bullseye, now available to binge on Netflix.
