Since there are talks of Thor 4 but nothing confirmed, Taika could bring Thor into Guardians 3. And since some of the Guardians are unhappy with the Gunn firing then they could kill some characters off and have a new Guardians team by the end. Especially now that Disney has more characters to use because of the Fox acquisition.
TBF, they've already killed off all except Rocket. They could just not bring them back in 2019 with IF2 if they're really set on leaving the franchise.
Though I think only Bautista has voiced that he'd ask to be released if Gunn isn't onboard?
