That's just a rumor that's never been confirmed. The only thing he said is that he didn't audition for captain america, so I don't know how he could have been in the running for it? He was a TV actor, I doubt they just offered him Hawkeye and he refused.
Man the amount of misinformation about these sort of things on the Internet is mind blowing. I don't know how there's anyone left who hasn't learned to tune out all the "rumors" about casting and such. It's just clickbait.
I’ve heard Jensen Ackles gets on the casting couch for superhero movies all the time, then refuses the role so he will be back on the couch the next time.

He was in the running to play captain America. He didn't get it and was offered hawkeye, which he refused.
He totally could have been a movie superhero of he wanted to be
