I've also seen this kind of situation in the Miami Vice and Starsky & Hutch movies. The producers didn't use the original TV series theme song for the movie.

Is there any legal reason for this?

    So is this just about The A-Team or all the other movies, too? In the latter case, you might want to adjust the question title (and in the former case the question body and tags). But in that case the question might also be a little broad.

  • Makes me want to ask why the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds didn't use the Jeff Wayne theme...

  • Related question: why did the A-Team stop using the original A-Team theme song in season 5? That synth version was terrible

Legal? No. 20th Century Fox just wanted an updated version of it. They commissioned Just Blaze to re-write it, but they could have just as easily used the original theme. As Oliver C pointed out in the comments, they did use the unchanged version within the movie.
