Den nya Spider-man-serien äger rum i det nya efter- Secret Wars Marvel-universet, som verkar vara separat och skiljer sig från den välkända jorden 616.
I Secret Wars kickoff-händelsen i januari Tom Brevoort, Marvels Executive Editor , och Axel Alonso, chefredaktören, talade om Marvel universets öde:

Alonso: The Ultimate universe, the Marvel universe, they're going to smash together. Imagine it was two pizzas: they're going to slap together, you can have all-new toppings, some toppings are going to drop off, you're going to yell about some that are missing, you're going to love the new ones that are there, and that is the Marvel Universe moving forward.

Brevoort: The actual main event is going to happen in Secret Wars 1. So, the Ultimate universe and the Marvel universe will collide, and the heroes of those two worlds will have eight hours to figure out what to do about it before both universes are destroyed. And they won't.

Brevoort: Battleworld essentially is the detritus that's left over after the destruction of the Marvel universe and the Ultimate universe, and it is the little melting pot in which the new Marvel universe will be created, will be fermented, in which all the little bits and pieces, the dribs and drabs, all the little sections of Earths that were within those incursion zones, those areas that were intersected, all those little pieces have remained, and they will be fused into a single, gigantic organism that is Battleworld, in which various characters will live their lives and contend with this new situation, and will set up all of the building blocks and all of the bedrock of what the new Marvel universe will be from that point going forward.
En intervju i juni med Jason Latour , författare till serien Spider-Gwen , föreslår att de fortfarande kommer att kalla det nya universum "616", åtminstone i diskussion med fans:
IGN Comics: Now that we know we’re getting another Spider-Gwen series, the big question is, will she be a part of the “main” Marvel Universe after Secret Wars, or if she’ll still be in her alternate universe on Earth-65?
Jason Latour: The answer is “yes”. No seriously, it’s a little of column A and a little of column B.
[...]
[B]ouncing over to the 616 now and then is something we’re eager to explore too.
Men Latour talar inte för Marvel som ett företag, så det är ännu inte klart hur officiellt vi bör överväga det uttalandet.
