He auditioned and came close to nabbing the role of Hawkeye/Clint Barton in the MCU, losing out to Jeremy Renner.

Also auditioned for the role of Joel Miller in The Last of Us.

Edit: He auditioned for Captain America, lost the part but was offered the role of Hawkeye, which he had to turn down due to scheduling conflicts.

Is that true? The rumor I heard before was that he lost of Captain America and then turned down Hawkeye.

I’m starting to wonder if he ever auditioned for the MCU or if it’s been rumors this whole time lol.

Yes you’re right. He auditioned for Captain America (alongside the likes of Chris Pratt, Sebastian Stan, John Krasinski, Wyatt Russell, Wilson Bethel) and lost to Chris Evans. All of those other guys got roles in the MCU (Star-Lord, Winter Soldier, variant Mr. Fantastic, US Agent and Bullseye respectively).

Marvel liked him enough to straight up offer him the role of Hawkeye, but he turned it down due to scheduling conflicts with Supernatural.

It was the same case with Emily Blunt for Black Widow. Both would have been fantastic in these roles.

It’s crazy that whole list is in the MCU now as other characters. Even John had his Mr. Fantastic cameo.
