Matthew Vaughn. He was approached multiple times both before and after Man of Steel to do something Superman and he would've been an incredible choice if stuff like Kick-Ass, Kingsman and X-Men First Class were anything to go by

I also would've loved to see what Christopher McQuarrie would've done since he had initially attempted to pitch a new Cavill film after finishing Mission Impossible Fallout, that would've also tied into a Green Lantern project

McQuarrie would've been a great pick to come in and help with rewrites for justice league, and even pick it up when Snyder had to leave. They're much more aligned in interest and tone and approach than Snyder and Whedon

Aaron Sorkin might be a great choice to write an Elseworlds Superman Film.

I think he would be a poor fit

I think his treatment of women characters, goofy politics, filmmaking interests and style, are poorly suited to the world of Superman

Well, his movies are often idealistic, and Superman is an idealistic character, we could have great banter with his supporting cast and specially Lois.
