\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Chris Evans<\/strong><\/a>\u2018 portrayal of Captain America<\/strong><\/a> is one of the best casting decisions that Marvel<\/strong><\/a> has ever made. However, we came pretty close to having someone else bring Steve Rogers to life in the MCU. <\/p>\n While Chris<\/strong> is so well-cast in the role that it\u2019s like he\u2019s playing himself, he faced some stiff competition to carry Cap\u2019s iconic shield.<\/p>\n In fact, Chris <\/strong>initially turned it down<\/a>. Who might have picked up the shield if he never agreed to lead the Avengers? We did some digging and rounded up 11 actors who were considered for the role. <\/p>\n Interestingly, some of them wound up acting alongside Chris <\/strong>in the MCU. Two of them even yielded Cap\u2019s shield at various points. <\/p>\n Others joined the franchise after he left. Some even had the chance to play roles in other mega-successful franchises, and one of them later revealed that they had to apologize to Marvel after their audition! The final actor to join the list would have put a very different spin on the iconic hero. <\/p>\n Scroll through the slideshow to see who else could have played Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Continue Here \u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
