Since he knows that he has the Time Stone, he's not going to go to Xandar to fight him, he's going to go to Wakanda as a safe haven. The Outriders will invade Wakanda for the Time Stone and Mind Stone, and while that goes one, Thanos is on Xandar battling Iron Man, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, and Gamora. The film is meant to jump around a lot. Plus, the Outrider invasion of Wakanda and the fight on Xandar are at the end, whereas the Stargate attack on New York is closer to the beginning. It's not like Strange would go absent after the Stargate attacks.

Spider-Man isn't in Wakanda. Despite what the set pictures prove, I think the Stargate fight happens right before the duel in Xandar, and Spider-Man's appearance as Peter Parker is only in the last third of the movie. In the Big Game spot, there is a shot of Peter Parker in his Iron Spider suit clinging onto the Stargate machine as it ascends into space, seemingly to the Xandar fight.

Also, it just occurred to me that Strange can't be in Wakanda, because he's with Iron Man and Spider-Man in what appears to be Thano's ship. And this screenshot also leaves me to wonder where the Time Stone is? Maybe the Time Stone was taken into Wakanda, but Strange isn't taking refuge there, still being used as a combatant in the Xandar battle.

That last paragraph regarding the Time Stone could be disregarded though. When not used, the Time Stone doesn't glow, and maybe that's why it isn't showing in the TV spot. If that is actually Thano's ship, however, I'm going to assume that Strange is going in with an empty Eye of Agamotto, and not the Time Stone - unless they're doing something with Strange going on a suicide mission on Xandar or whatever.

These are all theories which probably do not make any sense, so bare with me.
