The verified route
Jessica Chastain → Matt Damon → Cillian Murphy
Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon are both listed in the cast of The Martian (2015).
Matt Damon and Cillian Murphy are both listed in the cast of Oppenheimer (2023).
Why this connection works
The endpoints do not need to share a film themselves. One person with a credit in both selected films is enough to create two person-to-person connections.
What the evidence establishes
A shared cast credit connects two actors through a particular movie. It does not establish friendship, a personal relationship, or a scene together. Movie years distinguish these titles from remakes and other versions.
These routes use the films and candidates selected for this puzzle. They are not a complete filmography or a claim about the shortest route across every movie.
