Bolg, I mean. Not you, Lio.  Actually, that line works better if he were a Warg. And since I'm about to confuse even myself...
Neat thoughts on this, and it's going to be interesting to see how this storyline plays out, particularly with regard to who-kills-whom and whether or not any killings are related to the son-seeks-vengeance-for-father (or grandfather) theme.
Azog and Thorin have been clearly set up as archenemies. I'm completely convinced (for now, at least!) that one of three things must and will happen: either Azog kills Thorin, Thorin kills Azog, or possibly both. When this happens is another story. No idea. Seems a bit late to happen in the Bo5A, but would be anticlimatic if it happens earlier.
So here's my further speculation: Thorin kills Azog at some point, and is thus revenged for Thror's slaying at Azanulbizar (I just love spelling that!). Bolg thus seeks revenge for his father's death, which ultimately leads to Bolg slaying Thorin in the Bo5A. Beorn joins the battle near the end as he should, and, enraged at Thorin's (impending, since he doesn't die immediately) death, slays Bolg. This, however, denies Dain the opportunity to heroically slay anybody of importance, so he heads back to the Iron Hills and Balin is crowned king. Okay, okay, wishful thinking on that last bit, but I think the rest is quite plausible.
I really do think that it's very important to the storyline of the movie that Azog and Bolg are father/son, and that it was Azog who slew Thorin's grandfather. PJ has to be setting this up for a good reason.

I hope they don't try to void it. Azog and Bolg are only unique in that their kinship is mentioned and specified,
