Yes, that is one of the more high profile example, along with places like St George’s Hall standing in for Gotham in Batman. First Avenger was filmed in the Stanley Dock area and the adjacent dock road - apart from the big “Brooklyn” sign it’s actually pretty unaltered as there’s some interesting buildings down there (not sure if the hexagonal clock gets screentime you see the box bridge, the main dock walls, etc). There’s even a nice family connection as my grandfather (who would go on to be a gateman on the dry dock further down the road) learned to swim in the Bramley Docks which are the next ones along.
