In an alternative script for The Godfather Part III , Vincent Corleone has a final scene with Michael Corleone before this last dies .
A potential script , told in a similar narrative to Part II , would have included De Niro reprising his role as a younger Vito Corleone in the 1930s ; a young Santino Corleone gaining the Corleone family 's political power ; García reprising his role as Vincent Corleone during the 1980s running the family business through a ten-year destructive war , haunted by the death of his cousin Mary , and eventually losing the family 's respect and power .
