I realise there's no solid evidence for the other cameos. But I'm just saying, it's a concern and a possibility, if PJ goes over-the top. I'm also not against this Bolg change. The possibility of zombie Azog is a little worrying. And the fact the Bolg's character description fails to mention that he became king of the Moria orcs after his father's death seems odd. But, maybe PJ's orcs simply don't have a monarchy system. Which, I guess is fine.
