OK, I didn't realize anything that definite had been said.
Hugh Jackman Confirms That Wolverine 3 Will Be His Last as Wolverine

The awful and odious The Last Stand, a better movie than the thoroughly okay Apocalypse?! Madness! (And not the good kind, either.)

Apocalypse wasn't ok, though.
In terms of quality, the two of them have their own strengths and weaknesses (Last Stand's dialogue is horrible, but not as horrible as Apocalypse's plotting. Both have some terrible characterization of existing characters, but both also introduce surprisingly good new characters.) but overall they're about equal. Personally I'll take the Last Stand over apocalypse because:
1) Even with the terrible dialogue in the movie, Ian McKellen is ten times the villain of Oscar Isaac.
2) The alcatraz fight scene is one of only a (maddeningly) few scenes in the entire franchise in which the X-men actually feel like a team instead of a bunch people who happen to get into separate fights in proximity to one another.
3) The Last Stand doesn't spend 20 minutes of its running time on a completely random detour that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the movie.
Just because Bryan Singer said it in commentary doesn't mean it's actually true. Matthew Vaughn said in the commentary for X-Men First Class that the sequel would see Magneto being responsible for assassinating John F. Kennedy, and yet that happened off-camera between First Class and Days of Future Past.
Also, there's no indication based on anything that we've been told/shown to date in actual materials for Logan that says anything whatsoever about Essex Corp and Sinister being involved in the movie.
This is the kind of movie that could only be done at the end of an era. They've earned their character piece. I hope that the final days of Logan and the Professor are as good as Johnny Cash sells it.
The Merc With The Mouth to have a scene in Logan.

No he won't.
...and the moral of the story is: don't believe and/or repost unverified clickbait rumours.

Also, for anyone who thinks that Reynolds is "lying", here's James Mangold (you know, the guy who actually DIRECTED Logan) emphatically calling out The Wrap's report for the BS that it is, not once but thrice:

And, for good measure, here's Hugh Jackman (you know, the guy who actually STARRED in Logan) echoing both Ryan Reynolds and Mangold's statements:

Umberto Gonzolez is clearly the Steve Bannon of Entertainment; he's not going to admit that he's wrong even when he's provably wrong.
This is what happens when news is driven by click traffic. Nothing to report on? Make up something exciting: get traffic! People involved forced to categorically deny it: update article & get *even more traffic!*
The only way to combat it is to recognise it for what it is and not read or repost it. If reporters won't verify their sources anymore, then it's up to us to ignore them.

On a semi-related note concerning the film, Mangold doubled down, in an offhand but definitive manner, on a denial from a few months ago regarding Mister Sinister being in the film as follows:

I believe Mangold is probably telling the truth. But sometimes producers will out right lie to preserve plot secrets. Remember being told Harrison Wells is not the Reverse Flash?
Given that he A) is right in the middle of post-production on the film and B) turned down an invitation to go on the radio and talk about the film, James Mangold has far better and more important things to do than manufacture a controversy to get people talking about his movie by creatimg a war of words with Umberto Gonzalez.
You can be as cynical about this as you want, but sometimes a spade is a spade and #FakeNews is fake news.
