Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 gangster classic chronicled the handover of power from Vito Corleone to his son Michael.
The story came full circle 18 years later when Michael himself passed the reins over inThe Godfather Part III.
In hindsight, it’s surprising that a minor character from the first movie wasn’t picked instead.

Vincent gaining control of the Corleone family contributed little to this thematic motif.
Breaking away from his two predecessors,Vincent was absolutely delighted to be Godfather.
Connie and Carlo had another son before Michael Francis, Victor.

He was even more invisible in the movies.
Don Michael II would also have perpetuated the sense of destiny that haunted the entire Corleone clan.
What Actually Happened To Connie’s Children In The Godfather?

Michael Corleone was a father figure of sorts to his godson.
That’s unfortunate, because Andy Garcia could have played Michael Francis with barely any changes to his performance.
