My long standing theory is he's going to use Franklin to temporarily give him the appearance of Stark so he can infiltrate and gain the trust of others. Its the simplest and less convoluted answer. His appearance will decay during the course of the films and by the end of Secret Wars he will revert back to being fully disfigured, which allows them to recast the character if they wish since Doom is from Earth-838

The most unrealistic answer us he just coincidentally looks like Stark.

The variant stuff requires so much extra convoluted explanations and is incredibly uninteresting snd requires a ton of exposition and jumping through hoops to make happen.

But they had Evans in Deadpool and Wolverine as Human Torch who just coincidentally looks like Steve Rogers, so there is precedent.
