I haven't seen the film, "The Other Boleyn Girl", but when Anne Boleyn came back to England in 1521/1522 Henry was married to Katherine of Aragon.
King James of England had recently married Anne of Denmark. That's probably all there was to Shakespeare's choice of what ancient myth to adapt. There were rumors that Anne might have been secretly Catholic, and the subtle ongoing battle in the play between Protestantism and Catholicism might be a reference to that.

Anne Boleyn was a pivotal figure in the English Reformation, primarily due to her marriage to King Henry VIII, which led to a break from the Roman Catholic Church. Her desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon prompted Henry to establish the Church of England, thereby rejecting papal authority. Anne's influence extended beyond her marriage; she became a symbol of the Reformation's ideals, advocating for reform and the promotion of Protestantism. Ultimately, her execution in 1536 further solidified her legacy as a martyr in the struggle for religious change in England.
The English Reformation occurred in the 16th century when King Henry VIII wanted to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon to marry Anne Boleyn. When the Pope refused to annul the marriage, Henry broke away from the Catholic Church and established the Church of England with himself as the head. This led to the dissolution of the monasteries and a shift towards Protestantism in England.
