The White Dragon, butterflies, and more are coming for John Cena's antihero in the Peacemaker episode 7 trailer. January 13 marked the three-episode premiere of Peacemaker on HBO Max and the show has been airing new episodes every Thursday since. A spinoff of The Suicide Squad and the first television series set in the DC Extended Universe, Peacemaker follows Cena's titular character, whose real name is Christoper Smith, after the events of James Gunn's critically-acclaimed film.

Reteamed with his Suicide Squad cohorts Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and John Economos (Steve Agee), Peacemaker is assigned an all-new black ops mission called "Project Butterfly." His team also includes Amanda Waller's daughter, Leota Adebayo (Danielle Brooks), the foolish self-proclaimed superhero Vigilante (Freddie Stroma), and is led by Clemson Murn (Chukwudi Iwuji), the latter of whom happens to be a butterfly himself. Nevertheless, the squad remains steadfast in their objective: eliminate the extra-terrestrial parasitic butterfly-like creatures that can burrow themselves inside the human mind and control the host's body. A prominent subplot includes Peacemaker's daddy issues with his racist father, Auggie (Robert Patrick), who has been revealed as the white supremacist supervillain White Dragon.

Now, the trailer for Peacemaker episode 7 is here via TV Promos, previewing the events of the next chapter titled "Stop Dragon My Heart Around." The title is a pun on Peacemaker's father, who suited up as the White Dragon at the end of the last episode, set his sights on killing his son, and will take flight in next week's episode. Cena's hero will also have to deal with a swarm of butterflies led by Detective Sophie Song (Annie Chang) after the flying parasites took over the entire police station last episode.

If White Dragon and the butterflies weren't enough, the trailer also reveals the return of Judomaster (Nhut Le), who was presumed dead after being shot by Adebayo. It appears the martial arts expert will be after Adebayo (who is with Harcourt at the time) first for his revenge. With Judomaster still kicking, Adebayo has yet to kill anyone throughout her career, so her rematch with him will definitely be interesting. The White Dragon confronting Peacemaker is also something to look forward to, although don't expect it to be a heartwarming father-son reunion.

Next week's episode marks the penultimate chapter of Peacemaker season 1. However, based on Gunn's recent comments on Peacemaker season 2's prospects, Project Butterfly likely won't be the last time audiences see Cena and this gang together. For now, with Economos discovering the Butterflies' food source, tune into next week's episode of Peacemaker to see Cena's character kill the alien cow and try to prevent a further alien invasion.
