Do it.

There are legitimate and also hilarious answers to this question.

That would be an interesting twist. Captain Willard falls madly in love at the end of the film.

I guess there are a few different ways to look at this:

Who could play 'Kurtz', as in play the character as written, how Marlon Brando played it?

Or what could have been Kurtz, potentially changing the plot of the film?
