Filmmaker Mona Fastvold approached her friend, Rowlson-Hall, with a film idea about Ann Lee, the founder of the Shaker religion, and her strong beliefs in both celibacy and faith. It took seven years, but Fastvold – who co-wrote the Oscar-winning short film The Brutalist – finally had a script for The Testament of Ann Lee. Rowlson-Hall immediately agreed to work on it without even reading it. She then spent a week in May 2024 creating the film’s choreography, using demos from composer Daniel Blumberg’s original music. Her ideas were heavily influenced by historical images of the Shakers, particularly depictions of men and women moving in separate circles before joining together. As she describes it, these images felt like a completed puzzle that then came undone.

Homelander didn’t have any issues with the first Black Noir for a long time. They worked together for years, but eventually fought in season 3 of The Boys.
