New accessible Marvel mural unveiled in Manchester to mark release of Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+

Created by artist Insane51, the mural features a unique style that offers three different perspectives of the image: through a red lens, a blue lens and with the naked eye.

For Daredevil: Born Again, the mural highlights the show’s two lead rivals - Matt Murdock (Daredevil) and Wilson Fisk (Kingpin) - and illustrates how their stark opposition is what ultimately connects them.

This dynamic artwork represents the duality of Daredevil: Born Again, depicting the complex battle between Matt Murdock (Daredevil) and Wilson Fisk (Kingpin), both against each other and themselves.

The fiery red tones reflect Matt Murdock’s struggle to move forward while burdened by his violent past, while the cold blue symbolizes Fisk’s corrupt history that he is trying to escape.

Insane51 said: "As a huge fan of Daredevil, working on this mural was an incredible experience for me.

“I still remember seeing Daredevil on my screen for the first time when I was ten, and now, getting to bring my own artistic vision to this character feels surreal.

“It’s amazing to see how my art style connects with the show’s themes, and I love that people will be able to engage with this piece not just visually, but also on a tactile and auditory level.

“Bringing this new interactive element into my work was something I hadn’t done before, and that made the whole process even more exciting."

In collaboration with the RNIB, the mural features a tactile version of the artwork and a NaviLens audio description, accessible via a scan of a NaviLens code.

This makes the artwork more inclusive and accessible, particularly to those with sight loss.

Sonali Rai, Media, Culture and Immersive Technologies Senior Manager at RNIB, said: “A show about a blind superhero is the perfect catalyst for making public art more inclusive.

“This is an exciting opportunity to ensure that incredible artwork can be experienced by everyone, and we hope it sets a precedent for accessibility to become a standard in public art.”

In Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, fights for justice through his law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues his own political ambitions in New York.

As their past identities resurface, both men find themselves on a collision course.

The mural will be on display to the public for a limited time at Manchester’s Corn Exchange, located on Fennel Street, from March 17.
