The announcement has not been confirmed. but the possibility of Cumberbatch coming to Japan has created extreme excitement among his Japanese fans, causing some to even begin speculating upon which plane flight he would arrive.

 

The actual tweets, which are written in Japanese, can be found here, and the translations of the tweets were provided by a poster, "Classy M", on the TrekMovie.com web site;  the "Classy M" posts can be found here on posts 988 and 991.

 

As stated, there has been no official confirmation or translation, but such overseas publicity also occured around this time in late 2008, early 2009, for the first "Star Trek" movie reboot;  therefore, it is possible Cumberbatch's supposed trip could be the beginning of overseas publicity for "Star Trek Into Darkness".

UPDATE : If you delve into it, others, mostly Cumberbatch fan sites, are confirming the plane flight. TrekWeb assumes that they are just speculating --- how else would they know. Might be a popular flight to Tokyo from the West, anyway.
