Gonna throw Karyn Kusama’s name out there.

The way the approach has been described, I’m assuming it’ll start in a dark place and move toward the light, and her work is usually more on the dark side, but I think it can work.
 
DuVernay definitely comes to mind. Gerwig's next film is w WB, so that could lend itself to something interesting. Bigelow, King, Har'el. It's endless really.
 
Reading the comic that this movie will be based on, it feels much more like a Star Wars or Guardians Of The Galaxy type movie,
with Kara traveling from planet to planet looking for a cure for Krypto after he got poisoned.
, so maybe give Bryce Dallas Howard a shot at it? She directed awesome episodes of The Mandalorian (and will be directing episodes of season 3).
 
If Barbie opens big, Greta Gerwig for sure.
I can’t see her getting in on the superhero game… but then again, a few years ago, I would’ve said the same about her doing Barbie, so who knows?
 
It'll be someone left field... James Mangold. :o
 
Gerwig would be a huge get; but idk if she can just walk away from Netflix.
 
Kelly Fremon Craig might be an interesting choice.
 
A big swing to end all big swings, but lemme shoot this shot anyway… Kathryn Bigelow?
 
Gina Prince-Bythewood, if she's still interested in superhero films after Silver Sable and Black Cat didn't materialize for Sony. She directed The Old Guard and The Woman King.
 
I could maybe see someone like Emma Seligman, Reed Morano or Kate Herron landing the gig.
 
Reed morano has a new film filming soon i think so not likely i imagine. Herron is directing for last of us season 2 so Warner may indeed have an eye on her.
 
If schedule permits, I’d assume it’s Herron’s to lose.
 
Maggie Gyllenhaal also has a Frankenstein film going at WB.

I could see her being attracted to it, and she's been assembling some hella good casts.
 
I would go with Ava DuVernay myself but also Katheryn Bigelow or other male directors like Joe Dante, Michael Mann, Peter Berg just to name a few
 
Notable that Gunn is taking his time on picking this. Makes me think we might actually get someone interesting instead of a boring studio choice like Niki Caro.
