Will someone bring back the P-51 or the Corsair?

Short answer no
Longer answer, I believe that the problem with a new production run of any of the top end warbirds of WWII is that piston engines of that power range are no longer produced. Aircraft that need power in that range use turbo props today.

Saw a program about Antarctica couple nights ago.
Supply plane was a DC-3, with what looked like turbo-jet engines.
