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.

@Omega - doesn't mean they have to rehash the same traveled trail.

@Omega - how do you follow that timeline? Did someone in the movie, after credits scene or something, sit down with a whiteboard and show how DOFP changed things?

@Omega - I know that it's just I don't think people wanna see a rehash of origins even if it's better.

Old Man Logan would have been awful! A full circle to X-Men could be done well. Sure he looks older. Maybe a bit where he is reflecting on his life as an old man with full flashbacks of the old yellow suit. But the Old Man Logan Comic has too many Marvel Universe cameos they would have to replace.

@Spodermug - why? It's clear they aren't going that route.

Cool title, but will it to draw in the larger GA, who might not be (as) familiar with the Weapon X moniker? I'm just not entirely convinced they'll be able to make the connection.
