Seth is out. Who should replace him?
I think WB will poach one of the directors Marvel Studios were eyeing for their previous movies. Patty Jenkins was going to direct Thor: The Dark World, exited due to creative differences and signed on for Wonder Woman several years later.
Were there any frontrunners to direct Guardians of the Galaxy before James Gunn signed on?

According to the Wrap, WB ultimately felt that they didn't want to take the risk of a first time director after BVS's reception. IMO that's a good idea.
The Wrap also said they want someone with more directing experience, no first timers.
All the directors on the other DC films like Ayer, Jenkins and Wan all have solid directing experience, Jenkins is the only one of the three who hasn't directed anything big budget beforehand but clearly WB liked her vision.
