Deadline has announced that Stephen Merchant (Hello Ladies) is set to join the cast of the upcoming WOLVERINE sequel.
She may make the big screen, but they're not replacing Wolverine, he's the franchises biggest star/attraction.
They'll likely just reboot with a younger actor taking on the mantle, instead of replacing Jackman and keeping the current continuity going.
Wouldn't mind if they rebooted and did a series of films closely based off the 90's 'Weapon X' comics. Jackman mentioned Tom Hardy replacing him, wouldn't mind that. Or go with another relatively unknown like they did with Jackman back in the day.

They could replace him with X-23 for a few years given they know they have other popular characters now aside from just Wolverine, and also there's a growing trend to have more female action stars.
Plus a couple of years break may be wise before casting someone new given how long Jackman has been in the role.

That's already happened in the comics.

I reckon if they made a live action X-23 Megan Fox would be a good choice

Wouldn't exactly be for the sake of it. Would be because X-23 is a natural successor, and because they may want to give Wolverine a break for a couple of years before recasting.
The fact that there's the female action star trend going on might just give them the guts to do it.

I just don't want too many familiar series to be plagued by said trend. It's enough that Star Wars has been affected by it now the way it has... both in a main recent movie and upcoming spinoff.
