After revealing the new flavour for the third Wolverine solo movie, Hugh Jackman revealed the possible name.
Putting up an image of street art in New York, the Australian actor christened the movie with the caption Logan and possibly got rid of the working title Wolverine 3.

Logan is possibly Hugh Jackman's last movie as the Marvel mutant superhero which he has been playing for the last 16 years. The new movie is based on 'Old Man Logan' comic book series and, as Jackman revealed earlier, it will have a different tone.
Revealing that director Jim Mangold is in the editing room finishing up the job, Jackman said, "Basically, it's going to be very different. Very different in tone and hopefully different to anything we've done." Producer Simon Kinberg has also said that the movie will lean towards the genre of the Western. That explains the tiny hand holding Wolverine's.
Or does it? Because Ryan Reynolds has something else to say!
Right when the teaser poster was released, self-proclaimed chief of the Hugh Jackman Fan Club, Ryan Reynolds came up with a reaction tweet.
That's my hand holding Logan's in the new poster. #tender

If you didn't get the reference, maybe this will help -
This love affair between the two superheroes started when Reynolds heavily relied on using jokes about Jackman's character Wolverine in his cult hit Deadpool.
Logan will see Sir Patrick Stewart return as Professor Charles Xavier. It also stars Boyd Holbrook, Richard E Grant, Stephen Merchant and Elise Neal. The movie is set to release in the US on March 3, 2017.
