Though the extended version of Thor's vision in the Norn pool only exists on the special features of Avengers: Age Of Ultron, there's something in there that seems to suggest a more precise link to the events of Infinity War.

It's important to remember that Thor's vision relates not only to Asgard's fall but also to Thanos, since he sees the Infinity Stones and is inspired to hunt the missing stones by the vision. Or the anxiety it creates, more specifically. And in the extended version of the scene, when Thor is seemingly possessed in his little paddling pool, he offers up a possibly solution to taking down Thanos.

While he is asked how to take down Ultron by Erik Selvig, his response - "sacrifice" - makes no sense, because that's not what happens in Age Of Ultron's climax. Instead, it seems that Thor's vision is in fact giving him the key to undo Thanos and his fatal snap at the end of Infinity War.

Knowing what we know now about who survives that snap and the specifics of the contracts behind those characters, it definitely feels like this scene is foreshadowing how Avengers 4 will end.
