Talk:Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)/FAQ


 * Q: Why does this article use "Earth-616" and not "Earth-199999"?
 * A: Marvel Comics and the Spider-Verse films refer to the MCU as Earth-199999; this is discussed on the article. However, neither franchise is canon to the MCU, and Marvel Studios has made it clear that the main timeline of the MCU is Earth-616 and not Earth-199999. Additionally, if the MCU is Earth-199999, then it would theoretically be a "multiverse-within-a-multiverse" rather than a singular timeline within the MCU franchise. Editors reached a consensus to use "Earth-616" and not "Earth-199999" in this discussion and this discussion.
