I think it's awesome, I saw Attack the Block years ago so I was already familiar with him.
This is a series that is downright notorious for having almost no black characters (or non-white human characters in general). It's fine to have a mostly white cast but when your franchise is the butt of ridicule to this extent you have a problem. Casting Boyega was a good first-ish step in fixing that problem. I think he's a great choice regardless of his ethnicity.
