Capcom explains why Leon isn't in Resident Evil: The Mercenaries but Barry is, no DLC planned

"At the moment no, we haven't got any plan (for DLC). If the users want that we will endeavour to make it happen. We're always monitoring the comments and feedback from users. (As for Leon) He's all tied up for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. He couldn't make his appearance in Mercenaries." - Resident Evil producer Masachika Kawata

I guess that's that for Leon. If only they opted for the DLC maybe he could come on board at a later date. As for why Barry made the cut? Read the following:

"Most of the Resident Evil characters are cool heroes. Barry's a little bit different. It was quite a few years ago we found out that Barry was popular in the western market. It was a bit of a surprise for us Japanese guys. But since then we've always thought about him. He's a guy who thinks about his family all the time, which shows his humility. We thought he would be a unique character to play. He's a large guy, so he can do melee by using his body. He's also a maniac for guns. That's his strong point. From the start of the game he is allocated powerful weapons. He's not included as a comedian character. It's difficult because we don't play the game in English. The English lines may be taken in a different context when it's translated from the Japanese. I remember him as having love for his family. In order to protect his family he has to betray his colleagues. That was an impressionable scene." - Resident Evil producer Masachika Kawata
