The "originals" would be the 1930s Mummy Universal films, lol.
The first Brendan Fraser Mummy was a surprisingly fun homage to the 30s Universal monster movies. Fraser and Weisz had good chemistry. The second was kinda crappy, the third was full on crap.
This is a complete reboot from that and a starring vehicle for Tom Cruise. It looks a lot more "serious", whether that approach will work who knows.
