''The numerical designation for realities, and the assignation of 616 to the core reality, occurred during Alan Moore's run on Captain Britain Vol. 2 in the 1980's. Alan Moore has confirmed that, contrary to popular belief, there is no particular significance to the number (one popular rumor suggests that it has something to do with the date of the release of the first Fantastic Four issue in 1961). There is considerable irony in the fact that the "primary" Marvel reality had been assigned a number quite a way down the scale.'' Mysterio says Earth-823, not Earth-833. Although the latter would admittedly have been a nice easter egg, given that a good portion of the movie will apparently take place in London.
