When Does "John Wick: Chapter 2" (2017) Take Place?
"John Wick: Chapter 2" is a crime film written by Derek Kolstad that released February 10th, 2017. So when is "John Wick: Chapter 2" set?
It takes place on the fictional John Wick timeline in the year:
We know this because John Wick drives a Mustang with an October (10th month) 2014 AD inspection expiration date on its windshield. This film picks up mere hours or days after the end of the previous film, "John Wick" (2014). Part of the thrust of the first film is about Wick's stolen car and the opening of this film also deals with this missing Mustang. Car inspection certification stickers are only good for 2 years in the state of New Jersey, placing the story in 2012 AD at the absolute earliest.
2014 AD
