If the sequel does indeed take place 10 years later, then there's no excuse for him not being a leader "yet".
That is IF we get a sequel with this cast . Numbers are dissappointing -- and as bad as X3 may have been, it made more money than the two previous movies, and even with that it didn't get a direct sequel, they went for prequels. Which makes the future after X:A uncertain for sure.
They went for prequels after X3 because they were cheaper to produce and who knows, creative reasons, they wanted to make origin films even before X3 was released especially a solo Wolverine film... but it also led to box-office downhill until DOFP.
If there's no sequel for this new cast, it would be for a different reason.
