Recent industry discussions suggest that actor Deng Wei’s project pipeline is becoming more active, with clearer scheduling arrangements taking shape.
According to circulating reports, Deng Wei has secured a role in a historical costume drama currently in preparation by a major platform. The production team is described as strong, and preliminary work is reportedly underway in Hengdian, with filming expected to begin next month. Earlier rumors indicated that the second male lead role had been associated with Liu Xueyi, though the casting is now said to have shifted to Deng Wei. Official confirmation from the production has yet to be fully released.

In addition, Deng Wei is reportedly in talks for an adaptation of a popular IP project, this time positioned as a male lead role. If finalized, the project may see him collaborating with Meng Ziyi. The discussions are said to remain at a preparatory stage, with further details pending formal announcement.
Industry observers note that expanding into varied genres and roles can help consolidate an actor’s career trajectory. However, casting details and billing arrangements ultimately depend on official confirmations.
