Spoilers ahead, so don't read any further unless you want spoilers!

Battling throug♓h an explosive final confrontation witꦗh the Black Winter, Thor turns his attention to Galactus, now empowered with an unseen level of the Power Cosmic rippling through him. Though Galactus begs Thor for aid against the Black Winter, Thor turns on him, summoning all the power of Mjolnir to strike Galactus down and strip him of the Power Cosmic.

In the vision, seen presumably from Thor's perspective, Thanos stands above Thor, flanked by what appears to be an army of zo൲mbified Marvel heroes – and in his hand, he wields Mjolnir, encrusted with Infinity Stones.

Back on Asgard, where Thor has placed Galactus's helmet at the entrance to the Bifrost, he tells Silver Surfer – who is technically not silver at the moment – t💃hat his vision was "darkness, and nothing more."
