Amazon MGM has hired former Warner Bros. executive Charlie Coleman as its head of international marketing. He will be based in London and report to the studio’s global marketing chief, Sue Kroll.
Coleman began in entertainment marketing in 2001 as a marketing campaign manager for Disney, rising to become vice president and EMEA franchise manager for the studio.
He moved to Warner Bros. in 2019 and became vice president of international marketing under Kroll, overseeing marketing campaigns for films such as “The Batman,” “Elvis,” the “Dune” films and, most recently, “a Minecraft movie.”
Coleman is the latest former Warner executive to join Amazon alongside Kroll and Courtenay Valenti, who was president of production and development at Warner and is now in charge of Amazon MGM’s theatrical division.
“This agreement marks an important next step as we continue to scale our global marketing capabilities,” Kroll wrote in a memo obtained by TheWrap. “Charlie’s leadership, combined with the excellent work already happening within this team, positions us to continue raising the bar as we bring our films to audiences around the world.”
Coleman’s hiring comes as Amazon MGM continues to build toward releasing a full theatrical slate year after year, starting in 2026 with a slate of films that includes Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s “Hail Mary Project,” Travis Knight’s “How to Rob a Bank,” and “How to Rob a Bank.” The studio will also release Luca Guadagnino’s thriller “After the Hunt,” starring Julia Roberts and Ayo Edebiri.
