Disney releases official credits for The Avengers: Endgame which includes mention that James Gunn is an executive producer on the movie.
Last Summer saw Disney fire James Gunn from Marvel Studios and Guardians of the Galaxy 3, but just two weeks ago saw Disney reinstate the director.
Gunn was also an executive producer on Avengers: Infinity War as he was involved with the direction of the Guardians of the Galaxy characters, so we see Gunn obviously has a hand in how the Guardians are also handled in Avengers: Endgame (at least Rocket Raccoon and Nebula, because at this time it is not clear if the Guardians come back).
James Gunn will tackle Guardians of the Galaxy 3 once he is done with DC’s The Suicide Squad.
Here are the official credits for The Avengers: Endgame which includes the synopsis:
