So far, Lex Luthor and Mr. Mxyzptlk are the only villains to appear "Post-Crisis" in Supergirl, and Winslow Schott/ Toyman is still deceased (so they may use Jacqueline Nimball instead).
Wherever or not they, Livewire, Silver Banshee, Parasite, Manchester Black, Hellgrammite, Reaction, Master Jailer, or Metallo will appear in S&L is anyone's guess.

"People’s Dreams... Have No Ends"
Nolan's sensibilities lend themselves better to non-powered heroes and he's so obsessed with trying to push a novel concept through the most dreadfully dull lens that I just don't think he's the right fit for anything as ridiculous as Clark's world, nor as charming. He works best at less character-driven work with more stoic figures moving a theme along to the beat of a plot.
He'd be good at the Question, not Superman. My god, his Superman would bore me to tears.
Honestly, Taika Watiti may have a good Superman in him. He can handle big characters (Thor), he can do drama and humor simultaneously (JoJo Rabbit) and he generally knows how to take his characters seriously while still addressing how ridiculous but awesome it all is.
If nothing else, I'd love to hear his pitch. After Ragnarok, I'm certain it will be a pretty big swing and it would definitely be unique.
A more straightforward take would be by Jenkins, who after WW84 has lost a lot of the good will many placed in her, but if someone wants those Donner good vibes (I know you personally don't, but if someone does) she's the one for that job. Monster and WW still make me think she absolutely can do it, and I'm easier on 84 than most.
For a less wild than Waiting but still more mainstream take on the Man of Tomorrow--somewhere more in the middle-- I'm curious what Matthew Vaughn had planned for him.
So that's three. None of them are bulletproof but I'd listen to all three of them pitch. I didn't take any crazy pulls there, mostly some basic ones. There are tons of creators who can direct a rad Superman film.
Neil Gaiman is who I'd court for a script. I think he's secretly got a banger Superman script in his noggin somewhere.
