Is WEAPON X The Title Of James Mangold's Sequel To THE WOLVERINE?

Many fans assumed that Hugh Jackman's follow up to The Wolverine would be Old Man Logan, based on the fan favorite comic. But is the film actually titled Weapon X? A new rumor says that's the case.

On paper, it's pretty difficult for 20th Century Fox to pull off Old Man Logan. They don't have the rights to use Red Skull, Hulk, She-Hulk, Hawkeye or Spider-Man.  Scratch that, forget 'difficult', it's practically impossible.   With that in mind, could the third standalone (and perhaps final) Wolverine film retread through previously covered source material that was tackled in X-Men Origins: Wolverine? That is, could Jackman and Mangold be setting up a confrontation with the remnants of the Weapon X program?  If The Reavers are involved, that implies a Lady Deathstrike appearance, another ex-participant of the Weapon X program.  Hopefully 20th Century Fox will weigh in on this latest rumor and confirm the title (or debunk it by revealing the actual title); we'll update when/if that happens.
