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 character fans have already seen in stills, alongside the iconic tanks of the Dune universe’s Spacing Guild Navigators. Edric is 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.
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.
