When Does "John Wick: Chapter 4" (2023) Take Place?
"John Wick: Chapter 4" (released to Japanese-speaking audiences as "John Wick: Konsekuensu"/"John Wick: Consequences") is a crime film written by Shay Hatten with Michael Finch and released March 24th, 2023.
It takes place on the fictional John Wick timeline in the year:
We know this because the story picks up 6 months or less after the previous movie, “John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum” (2019), which takes place in 2014 AD. [That story begins only minutes after the final scene of the film before that, "John Wick: Chapter 2" (2017), which takes place entirely in 2014 AD. In "Chapter 2", John Wick drives a Mustang with a month "10" (October) 2014 AD inspection expiration date on its windshield.]
2014 AD or 2015 AD

It's not known what month the previous three films take place in. Therefore, a six-month jump could mean the audience is brought to late 2014 AD or early 2015 AD.
It is the chronologically fifth story in the John Wick universe (the fourth chronological film to feature John Wick) and can be watched at its timeline point.
