Pretty sure everyone guessed it. It was rather obvious and was/is the best choice that makes the most sense and provides the most material to deal with story-wise that's similar yet different and still fresh. The only other possible candidate was Jubilee because of future Jubilee being Wolverine, and that one still might happen much later. Especially considering they've now become very close friends and if something happens to Laura while she's Wolverine.

If that was the case, why even give her cancer? They wrote it that way to make her seem like a less likely candidate for the hammer, and provide more story potential. So far Mjolnir is doing the opposite and is making her cancer worse because it's exhausting her. I'm sure they have other story plans in the works for that. My concern is more towards she dies because of the cancer to cause grief on Thor to then make him worthy again. Which will make her entire arc and death about him instead of about her as a character and her own growth. That would be a horrible way to end it though, but Marvel has been known for turns like that. We're talking about a literary universe though where every facet is writer controlled for the purpose of the arc they are writing. But no, I don't think they'll go the 'magical cure' route. The title has been pretty adamant that she's refusing that, even from Mjolnir itself. If she beats the cancer, it'll be by human medicine. As a medical worker herself, that fits her personality they've used in the comics.

So far, Wolverine has been the only X-Title announcement. No clue what other titles yet, but there are sure to be a bunch because it's like 55-60 titles and only barely even 20 have been announced so far.
