Sure, because Sony was able to put him to so much better use.
Makes sense though. At the time they were still hoping their Spiderman without Spiderman universe would be successful and had plans for their own Kraven movie.

And Spiderman No Way Home was going to feature Kraven too.
Why would Sony license characters that they control out for movies they wouldn't profit from?
I'm sure money would have changed hands.
At most, the only money Sony would've gotten would have been a lump-sum upfront licensing fee, which wouldn't have been enough incentive for them to want to agree to loan out the character.
That looks like a lot of fun! I can't wait.
Good to see Agent Cleary pop up again (I don't think we knew he was going to return here) and I don't think I knew Oliva Thirby was going to be in it, too.
Sony going to Sony.Sure, because Sony was able to put him to so much better use.
They would have made more money licensing Kraven out to Marvel than they did on the Kraven movie.
I very much doubt that any Licensing fee that Sony would have charged would've come anywhere close to being 62 million dollars.
They spent over 100m making the movie and God knows how much to market it.
If the licensing fee was 5 cents Sony would've still come out ahead financially by just letting someone else make a movie instead.
That isn't how money works, but sure.
It's exactly how money works. They lost many millions of dollars by making the movie.
However big a licensing fee might be, it would be money gained rather than money lost because there's no risk in letting someone pay you for a license.
If they go that route, maybe that could switch it up to Namor/Reed.
Oh right, I forgot about that.
They just posted some stuff on social media about Hollywood banning all people with powers, so it's not just Wonder Man, it's everything being produced there.
That seems rather discriminatory, excluding a whole category of people from the industry. I trust the show will explain why that rule was established, and hopefully will address how unethical it is.
It occurs me to wonder whether Kingo might show up, but I guess he'd probably just stay in Bollywood if Hollywood became unwelcoming.
That would be rage baiting homophobic trolls.
Now if Secret Wars follows the comics and if Namor is in Doomsday, then Sue might be getting more action than Johnny over the next couple of movies.
This is actually the best use of the character going forward. Make her the legal equivalent of Night Nurse.
It should be noted that The Doorman is a Wonder Man villain and will be appearing in the show. I hadn't heard of him until I saw him listed in the Wikipedia article (with a source). Seeing his name on that newspaper certainly provides context regarding the ban.
I would love for that to happen, but I agree it's unlikely.
