I'm trying to translate this video ->
[link](https://youtu.be/zIwF3jH7534?t=2m) and I got stuck at the last bit,
where the speaker mention " **当然** "

so this is the transcription,

> まあ、演劇「ハイキュー」自体はやっぱり春も新作があるので、続くんですね。
>
> 漫画原作だから、こう、 **当然** だろうと思う人もいると思うんですが、
>
> 僕はこの **当然** なことが一番素敵で本当に偉大なことだと思います。
>
> こういう、素敵な **当然** の中に居させてくれて、ありがとうございました。

I search the meaning on [Jishou](http://jisho.org/search/%E5%BD%93%E7%84%B6)
and I still couldn't really grasp the meaning of it in his speech.

Translation attempt; **This is wrong BTW**

> 漫画原作だから、こう、 **当然** だろうと思う人もいると思うんですが、

= Because of the original manga, I think there are people, who are
**certain(?)** about that.

> 僕はこの **当然** なことが一番素敵で本当に偉大なことだと思います。

= For me, this " **certainty** " is the most wonderful and it's truly the
greatest thing.

> こういう、素敵な **当然** の中に居させてくれて、ありがとうございました。

Thank you for letting me be in this wonderful **place(?)** <- like I said I'm
so confused with this...

question
translation meaning
What does 当然 mean in this context?
This 当然 just means "natural consequence", "necessity", "inevitability",
"unsurprising fact", etc.

> 漫画(が)原作だから、こう、当然だろうと思う人もいると思うんですが、  
>  Because it (=stage play of Haikyu!!) has an original manga, well, I think
> some will think that (=the fact that the stage play will continue) is
> natural/unsurprising, but...
>
> 僕はこの当然なことが一番素敵で本当に偉大なことだと思います。  
>  I think this "being unsurprising" is a really wonderful and great thing.

The last sentence is tricky and somewhat poetic, but こういう素敵な当然 (literally
"this wonderful unsurprising-ness") refers to what was said in the previous
sentence. So basically what he wants to say is "thank you for letting me
participate in this play, and for the wonderful fact that the play continues
to the next sequel without trouble."

**EDIT:** 当然 is usually not a positive-sounding word, so you may call this
素敵な当然 an example of oxymoron.
