We have a new Dune: Part Three trailer to kick off tickets going on sale for what is expected to be one of the biggest movies of 2026.

Denis Villeneuve’s trilogy-ender hits theaters on December 18 — the same day as Marvel Studios’ surefire blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday — in what has been dubbed “Dunesday” by fans online.

The new trailer, while only 30 seconds long, includes snippets of new footage and, for the first time, Edric's voice.

Warning! Potential spoilers for Dune: Part Three follow...

Edric is a Spacing Guild Navigator who lives in a tank filled with orange spice gas, and a central conspirator in Frank Herbert's novel Dune Messiah, which serves as the basis for Dune: Part Three. In the trailer, Florence Pugh's Irulan (Paul's wife and the daughter of former Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV), asks Edric: "Tell me what lies ahead."

"The end," Edric replies, ominously, in a gravely voice.

This is particularly exciting for Dune fans, as Edric is not only a prominent character in Dune Messiah who uses his own limited prescience as part of the conspiracy against Emperor Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), but we had been waiting to see what a Spacing Guild Navigator would look and sound like in Villeneuve’s adaptation.

In Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two, fully mutated Spacing Guild Navigators are intentionally left off-screen to preserve a sense of mystery around interstellar travel, though human-looking representatives of the Spacing Guild do briefly appear in the first film. We see them, complete with odd helmets, when the Emperor's Herald of the Change visits Caladan to give Duke Leto Atreides his marching orders to Arrakis.

In the Dune universe, Guild Navigators are mutated humans who possess limited precognition fueled by the spice melange. This psychic ability allows them to safely pilot colossal starships called Heighliners through "folded space," giving the Spacing Guild an absolute monopoly on interstellar travel.

David Lynch's Guild Navigator scene in his 1984 movie, Dune, lives long in the memory for being downright bizarre. We see a mutated Navigator floating inside an enormous tank of fluid, dishing out orders to the Emperor of the known universe.

Dune: Part Three has tied up IMAX for its launch, much the same way Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey did earlier this summer. Indeed, a special Dune: Part Three trailer showing a battle scene played before screenings of The Odyssey, with a clip of Villeneuve thanking Nolan for the space and time in front of Imax audiences.
