I think Crossbones would fit better in a present day Captain America film, and Leader in a Hulk sequel. I think they've already confirmed Mandarin in an Iron Man 3, set place after Avengers. However, they have said they will try to make his rings technology related, to make it seem realistic thus following the ways of the first two films.
