To be fair, the shareholders would also be upset if they spent 200 million dollars on a movie that went in a whole new direction and angered the fans enough that it only made back 85 million.

[Movies] MCU: Phase 3 And Beyond

No, the current Walt Disney executives in charge of the movie said this. Alan Horn is the current big dog amongst those who made the firing decision and the one who stands to lose the most... the one who has ALREADY lost the most. The word is out that he's going to retire in a few months because he's lost his chance at the big chair, so the delay is just a face saving measure for him. This won't look odd, he's already 75. Once the heat is off and the people who stood to lose face are gone, there really isn't anything keeping them from bringing Gunn back ether as director or as shadow-co-director.
As it is though, unless the next Avengers completely writes off the Guardians, Phase 4 is kind of fucked. They could do Nova or something (maybe bring back John C. Reily as a mentor for Nova?) but the fans already know what happened and they will not be pleased.
And yes... the shareholders have their torches and pitchforks out. That movie was guaranteed money and it got iced because a single old executive at the top wasn't media aware. Expect to see heads roll if something like this happens again.
EDIT: Something else to consider; Disney hasn't talked to ANYONE about taking over a director of the movie. If they had, we'd know. Which ether means no one wants the job because of the heat or that it's basically cancelled at this point.

Don't forget...
I'm betting we end up seeing not only how he lost his eye, but what inspires him to make the Avengers Initiative in the first place.
Point of order, as per The Winter Soldier (this isn't big spoilers), his eye is not gone, it's there, just probably not useful for seeing things with.
1) The Skree designs look GREAT.
2) They're actually including Photon!

Maria???
We can only hope for a Nextwave movie for the next MCU phse.
Given that the movie takes place in the 90's, she very likely has a daughter named Monica. (Maria is even the name of Monica's mother in the 616.)
Hmmm... that would make her a bit younger then i imagined her... unless she's already born when the film takes place...
Brilliant Idea #9134975:
Dressing up as Thor for Avengers 4 (as I did for Infinity War), but also bring a bucket of sand with me to say I brought all my friends with me, who are also cosplaying as Avengers.
(I know it was dust, but sand would be easier to get.)

...and then give their seats away to other people that bought tickets.

Put them in individually named/labeled ziploc bags, then put the bags in the bucket. That ought to work.
I am super excited about Captain Marvel. I can't wait to see it all tie together!
Craft stores often sell colored sands used for sand art.
I think there’s potential there.

I was thinking: cut a piece of cardboard to fit the mouth of the bucket, coat the cardboard in adhesive, sprinkle on black colored sand, shake off the excess, and then fix the cardboard in the bucket. It'll look like an open bucket of dust, be a lot lighter, and have no chance of spilling.
Nick at the premier:
As a former employee of the once great Blockbuster Video, I highly approve of this trailer.
Joke #1: Never let it be said that you can't save the world without punching a few old ladies. (1:30)
Joke #2: Since some Guardians of the Galaxy characters are in this, like Ronan, does that make this...a KREEquel?

A Brofist is the only appropriate response to this.
I want to see that movie just for that.
Captain America only had about 9 lines in the first cap trailer. It was mostly Tommy Lee Jones talking.
This is pretty common in superhero movies.
