"Men with LARGE biceps" = Beornings?

The latest casting call (http://www.trademe.co.nz/441281338) suggests a whole variety of extras, and some have suggested it's for the BoFA. They specifically ask for "MEN with LARGE biceps" which strikes me as odd, because I would imagine the humans and Dwarves will have their arms covered.

But what if Beorn arrives not alone, but with a whole host of "Beornings"? I know that the rise of the Beornings didn't happen until after the BoFA, but it might be a change that Jackson feels is cinematic enough to make.
 
it wasn´t on videoblog 1that appears some kind of golbin or something with long arms and then on videoblog 2 we can se tought it is obscured a figure of the same kind, i dont know if it has something to do with it

but a bunch ob Berons arriving at BOFA it remembered me to twilight saga with this wolf guys and all that stuff noooooooooooooooo![:P]
 
After all, Gandalf does witness Beorn attending a great moot of true bears and other skinchangers (were-bears lol) so it is certainly not beyond reasonable speculation.
 
Yeah, dunno. A group of individuals of varying heights who will have [possibly just] their arms uncovered.

A good deal is made of the strength & sturdiness of Dain's army, but they are said to be wearing "hauberks" [a garment which I understand is typically sleeved].

Bolg's bodyguard or other goblins [I guess that no height guidelines might favour goblins, who might tend to have a motley range of appearnces as per ROTK]?

Beornings is not an awful shout because the plausibility of a single man [or giant bear] making any real impact on a large battle was always a bit stretched.

Archers plausbile because they'd tend to be lightly armoured and archer is a job where you might expect people with relatively [compared to the rest of their body, although in truth I suspect that bigger, stronger, back muscles would do more of the work with good technique, not as telegenic though] over-developed arms.

Impossible to say really.
