    New Yorkers may be watching more movies from home, but you can’t shoot “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in your apartment. That’s why Doug Steiner’s eponymous company is building a 500,000-square-foot film production hub with eight soundstages in Sunset Park by 2024 and is expanding his 30-stage footprint in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
