I wouldnt mind seeing Taiki Waititi direct Gunns script. He directed Thor Ragnarok, so hes worked with Marvel before and he has a very similar style. But I dont know how easy it is to get a director on such short notice.

This delay must be hurting all the other MCU as well because theyre expected in such a specific time table

One movie being delayed doesn't actually mess with the rest of the schedule - they just lift it out of the rotation and produce all the other movies on time and in order. They don't delay the entire chain because one movie goes bad - that's the reason why Inhumans falling out of the plan didn't mess with anything, and why they'll be able to adapt very easily to having the Fox-licensed characters back under their control.

It might be an issue for a movie that was pre-planned to be a significant part of the overarching plot (like Winter Soldier or Civil War), but the Guardians movies were always sort of their own separate thing anyway. Even in the wake of Infinity War, I can only assume they would have gone off and separated again, and not been all that significant to the rest of the setting.

There WAS talk about using Guardians and Captain Marvel to serve as a foundation to build a new "cosmic" shared universe (with stuff like Nova and Silver Surfer or Adam Warlock or Quasar) that exists in the same universe as the shared Avengers filmed but mostly only interacts with itself (similar to how the Defenders exist in the same universe but don't necessarily interact with the Avengers). Guardians being delayed might interfere with those plans, but they don't seem to have been all that advanced beyond the brainstorming stage anyway.

Supposedly with Guardians they're more than willing to leave the movie delayed until a major director comes along and agrees to work on it, and they're not in a rush to grab just anyone to do it. So it could wind up delayed for years (or eventually get outright cancelled) if they don't find a director they like.
