The role of Captain America eventually went to Chris Evans, but Krasinski reveals that he had a great time auditioning for the part.
Speaking to Digital Spy about the experience, Krasinski said: "The Captain America thing was hilarious... I had so much fun doing it and got to wear the suit and screen-test and sign my life away that I wouldn't tell anyone.
Krasinski is great friends with Evans and the actor says that he wants to go head to head with his pal on screen by landing a villain role in a Marvel film.
The actor continued: "Chris is a good friend and very good at what he does, so I was so happy to see him do it... Maybe now I need to play a villain and fight Chris... That's what we need to do."
Krasinski returns to the big screen this week as he teams up with filmmaker Michael Bay in 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
The movie is inspired by real-life events and sees Krasinski star alongside James Badge Dale, Pablo Schreiber, and David Denman.
