I actually would love an alternate version where the deleted bookend scenes were added in. It was initially a story told thru a grown up Joaquin's point of view who at the end turns out to be the next Zorro that took over for his dad, Alejandro. Since there's no more films coming, those would make more or a proper finale.

Difference being that Jaws 2 and Ghostbusters 2 didn't kill the franchise the way Legend of Zorro did. They even changed the original ending to leave the door open for more Banderas/Zeta-Jones sequels.

A better comparison would probably be Speed 2 or Kick-Ass 2.
