20 Brilliantly Obscure Comic Book Movie Easter Eggs You Didn't Notice
3. 616 Universe (Thor: The Dark World)
In the Marvel multiverse, every individual continuity has a name. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is designated as the 199999 Universe and, therefore, the Earth of that continuity is called Earth-199999. However, the most prominent continuity in Marvel is the standard, primary continuity of the comic books, which takes place in the 616 Universe with the Earth of that timeline being called Earth-616. In Thor: The Dark World, you can clearly see that, on Erik Selvigs chalkboard in the mental health home he has been taken to due to his public nudity, the term 616 Universe is written and underlined. Granted, were never going to see an impossible crossover between the live action characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the inked characters of the 616 Universe, but its very cool to see a reference to the latter, which could indicate that Erik Selvig acknowledges that the two universes co-exist as part of the same multiverse. Then again, it could be a completely meaningless Easter egg.
