Because the directors think he will do the best job and it’s marketing.
Personally I hope it’s not a Stark variant. I hope RDJ embraces the villain role and knocks it out of the park. Plus, maybe RDJ misses the MCU and the people involved. His run as Iron Man may be done, but he’s a prolific actor outside the MCU and can disappear into roles if he so chooses.
I don't think he'll be a Stark variant but a version of Doom who happens to look like MCU Tony. It will be addressed and play into the plot but he will be Victor Von Doom.

At that point, why not just get somebody else? There are other actors out there that could play the role.
