Theory Briefing
- A fan theory linking Dillahunt to the DC villain Black Hand went viral as early as September last year, well before any official confirmation.
- Dillahunt is officially cast as William Maccon, but fans suspect that name may be a cover for a bigger role.
- Dillahunt breaking his silence is itself a data point — what he says (or doesn't) feeds the theory rather than settling it.
