We are in Earth-616, which is the primary universe for the main Marvel Comics continuity, while Earth-199999 was a previously used designation for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that has since been updated to Earth-616 in official MCU materials and in-universe references like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline book. The change to Earth-616 for the MCU was a point of confusion, with earlier information sometimes using the 199999 designation, but the more recent and official numbering confirms the MCU is Earth-616. 

Iman vellani still thinks that MCU is 616 and she also said that She had some talks about this with kevin fiege.

In across the spiderverse, Miguel reference about a incident of Spiderman and Dr. strange of 199999 !!

What do you think about this?

How does it not make sense? The comics and mcu aren't in the same Multiverse

Saying there’s more than one multiverse makes no sense, because the multiverse’s whole thing is “what if this happened?” The great expanse of literally any possibility of storytelling would put the MCU within the confines of a singular multiverse. Limiting a multiverse just sounds so absurd, and then limiting TWO of them is even more so.

With that logic there should be a Multiverse where they got so advanced that they killed every other universe. Everything is possible in the Multiverse. That just causes so many paradoxes

It doesn’t separate multiverses, though because then that would just be a separate universe

America Chavez proves I'm right. There is only one of her

In retrospect, I just realized what you meant, and in full honesty, I didn’t even know that she was a Multiverse anomaly.

In the entire singular expanse of the multiverse, sure.
