Anyone from the Infinity Saga who perishes after Endgame doesn't mean much for me.
Sorry not sorry.

If it’s Drax, I’m quitting the franchise, but everyone loves Drax. Gemora is already dead. We know Groot can’t die. Star Lord is heart and soul. Rocket? Mantis? It's probably gonna be his brother, what's his character's name, Kraglin?

Okay. Is he related to Drax or Peter? Oh lord, neither. I meant he's James Gunn's brother.

Tony’s death was just too much for you? lols no I mean, carryovers from that saga have done their duty. Personally, this is like G1 Transformers post-animated movie. Which because both cosmic, isn't far off. Bring me X-Men & Fantastic Four. New blood to ride with.

Why would he promise this? What sicko fans want someone to die? This is crazy.

Oh lord, neither. I meant he's James Gunn's brother. Sorry. 😟 I’m just a fan, not a fanboy, so I don’t know these things. Don't really need to be a fanboy to put the pieces together mate, James Gunn Sean Gunn both of whom are named in this thread, and Kraglin isn't an earthling or whatever Drax is so how would he be related to either character?

If it’s Drax, I’m quitting the franchise, but everyone loves Drax. Gemora is already dead. We know Groot can’t die. Star Lord is heart and soul. Rocket? Mantis? Do they though? the big complaint a lot of people had about Vol 2 was how it just went too comedic and Drax was the perfect example of that, the tragic pain of his past was gone, instead of just taking things too literally like he did in Vol 1 he was now a full blown meathead with no depth, they lost the heart and just loaded him up with non-stop jokes.
Gamora from Vol 1 & 2 is dead but Gamora from Endgame is still alive and kicking so she could die, Groot already died in Vol 1, Baby/Teen Groot is the other Groot's son, not the same character, so yeah this Groot could die also but then have a child like we saw in Vol 1, Star Lord can die if they don't have plans for any future GOTG solo movies, Quill could sacrifice himself for Gamora which would act as a final catalyst to turn her fully good and she would be the new leader from crossover movies, there is also Nebula who could die, for similar effect but now leaves Quill still alive for that happy ever after sort of thing.
Imo killing Drax would be the laziest choice, but it would also make the most sense, Batista was the out spoken member who stuck by Gunn after his firing and was even willing to breach his contract at one point iirc, so it would make sense if Gunn is done after Vol 3 then so would Batista, he's proven himself to be outspoken enough that the house of Mouse may not want to work with him further, and he very well may have no interest in working with them without Gunn also, but Drax is also after Mantis the most expendable character, he's the one without any real story after Vol 1, the one loose thread he had was Thanos and he's now dead so what else is there for him to do?
Rocket is the one that's the safest imo, he's actually had storylines through all the films including the Avengers movies, he's also one of the most beloved of the characters and most marketable, plus he is a package deal with Groot, on top of that Bradley Cooper & Vin Diesel are probably cheaper than the other cast as they are just voice over work, so they aren't doing 2 months worth of shooting but like 2-3 days in a sound booth, but they are also big names to add onto the poster, so yeah I figure Rocket & Groot are safe, but then Groot "dying" again to bring back Baby Groot means more Baby Groot merch and people love Baby Groot, so who knows, but that would be a total cop out imo to kill Groot again.

Awhile back James Gunn said that Vol 3 was going to have an emotional story for Rocket. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Rocket is the one to die.
Then again the death could be the villain.

IF Gunn is meaning a MAIN CHARACTER is going to die and it is the end of the GOTG series, i could totally see Rocket being killed as a "subvert your expectations" style twist.

lols no I mean, carryovers from that saga have done their duty. Personally, this is like G1 Transformers post-animated movie. Which because both cosmic, isn't far off. Bring me X-Men & Fantastic Four. New blood to ride with. I think they are phasing out the original big three: Ironman, Thor, and Captain America. Tony and Steve’s narratives have wrapped up and Thor is being demoted to a mere mortal with Jane taking the Hammer. Hulk really hasn’t had much to do in the movies other than smash. David Banner himself is a side character used to support to other three. The others like Black Widow and Hawkeye have never been the central focus, so they’re stories are fresh. And the GoTG have their own narrative outside of the Avengers. However, I do think the Fantastic Four will show up soon. Maybe initially in the TV shows. Out of all the other Marvel Hero groups, they’re my favorite. I’d like to see a good reboot for them. An Avengers vs X-Men would make for a great one-off movie, though they’re characters deserve their own narratives separate from the MCU folks.  I don’t know if Thor is becoming mortal. There are plenty of Asgardians that don’t have weapons bestowed upon them that are still beyond mortal. Unless you’re referring to something confirmed I haven’t heard about.

If it was just up to Gunn then maybe, but I don't see Disney chancing it myself, not after so many things have had that blow up in their faces in recent years, including SW, plus they still want to pump out the merch, as well as have the characters viable for crossovers, I don't see Rocket as the smart choice to do this, you think they have Thor set up to be a part of them as the Asguardians Of The Galaxy, that means they have a replacement male lead or comedy muscle they can slot him into, that to me makes Drax and Quill the more obvious ones to kill off, if he does mean a main character like you said, but who knows.

Someone has died in each of the other films.
Groot died in the 1st. This new Groot seems more like his child than the original Groot. Yondu died in 2. Peter lost his biological father & what functioned as a father in Vol 2.
However, Rocket mentioned not having a long life span in the first film, didnt he?
But I could see Nebula dying to save Gamora. Or Mantis could die.
