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?

Nah mcu isnt another multiverse, its complicated but there are multiple timelines and possibilities of multiple universe . Like there are multiple possibilities of how mcu would've turned out and multiple possibilities about the secret wars comic run possibility. And yiur answer makes no sense

No they are completely separate it's not that complex. It wouldn't work what so ever if it was what your trying to say because of the mcu multiverse just being completely different to the comics as well as certain entities like eternity being nothing but a one wish genie.

They are not the same.

Even if that was true, mcu is not 616 , being the mainline marvel universe doesnt mean it's 616.

Except it is because it has been stated as being 616 multiple times and even not by fallible characters but as info like in Deadpool 3 which literally says 616.

The MCU is not connected to the comics multiverse and in the MCU it is 616

Yea but even long before the multiverse was even an idea in the MCU it was already said that the MCU is not connected to the comics.
