Let's break down how these soundtrack titles offer tidbits of information about the movie.
Thunderbolts* soundtrack titles might just spoil the fun for MCU fans
The tracks present in the Thunderbolts* soundtrack list have reportedly been arranged in the order that they appear in the movie. So, it's not that difficult to put those pieces together to understand the basic structure.
The very first track is called "There’s Something Wrong with Me," and it was teased online as a part of Yelena Belova's character introduction. On the other hand, "Forest Memory" most likely refers to the event in a forest, where she has to face her past as a child.
Some of them include the character names, which makes them pretty self-explanatory. The fans will most likely understand what will happen in the movie based on titles like "Walker’s Memory," "Introducing Sentry," and "Searching for Bob." Their point of placement in the list can also reveal when these characters might be introduced or when they will reveal their unique identities.
Look at where "It’s Bucky!" appears in the list and when "Introducing Sentry" does. That's enough of a cue to understand how the events will appear on screen. "It’s Not Robert You Need to Be Afraid Of" is likely in reference to Bob's big reveal moment, which might happen right after a "Penthouse Fight." Otherwise, there are mentions of chase scenes or fights that offer a baseline idea of key scenes in the movie.
Thunderbolts* is scheduled to be theatrically released on May 2, 2025.
