Meryl Streep reaches Hugh Jackman through Colin Firth and Taron Egerton across Mamma Mia! (2008), Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015), and Eddie the Eagle (2016).
The verified route
Meryl Streep → Colin Firth → Taron Egerton → Hugh Jackman
Meryl Streep and Colin Firth are both listed in the cast of Mamma Mia! (2008).

Why this connection works
The selected actors must be placed in film order. Both names are plausible individually, but only one ordering forms all three links.
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.
