If there is a definite, confirmed title and a confirmed MM/DD/YYYY release date, the project is considered notable enough to get a page. This is why X-Men: Apocalypse has a page and why the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot that releases a year earlier does not.

But the point about Apocalypse the character is that the movie was confirmed not all that long ago and is a few years away. There's a general rule on this - unless something is explicitly confirmed via casting announcement, do not add a character to the page. Exceptions are made when a film is at a fairly late stage in production and someone involved in that production says a character will appear. This was the exact strategy used to construct the page for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

You may not find this set-up the most fair, but it's one that we've found best protects the integrity of the page while responsibly informing readers about the upcoming project. Your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated, but please proceed with a bit of restraint.
