At the end of Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos snapped his fingers and wiped out half of the universe.

There’s a lot of very inventive ways of where the story can go."
Joe adds: "There’s four years between Guardians 2 and Infinity War. That’s a long time, and a lot of Guardians stories to tell.

The filmmaker's comments could be read in a couple of different ways, including a time jump for Avengers 4 and movies like Spider-Man: Homecoming 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 being set in the past.
