Dead -- but Mr. Universe could bring him back as a shiny, new robot. Oh wait, he's dead, too... Noooooooooo!

Actually I honestly think Book is more plot relevant than Wash, so if I had to choose, it would be Book who comes back. Or some technological clone/ doppelganger of Book with not necessarily all of his memories (possibly villainous? And then he could go through a similar transformative experience that he winds up as a preacher).

But I don't really see a good storyline justification for either of them as neither of them are in the good graces of anyone who might have access to technology like that. So unless River suddenly becomes a reality warper or it turns out the movie was just a dream, probably not happening.

Wash can be returned to the Firefly story using
already established in-the-'verse-tech:

Put Wash in River's cryo-box to take him home for burial.
Along the way, Simon informs the crew
that the same medical tech that produced Tracy's hopped up internal organs
("million credit meat" in Tracy's words)
are accessible at Government research facilities.
Using a bit of improvisation and Book's ident card,
they sneak Wash in place of a politico who bumped a deserving recipient
(ala PA's governor Casey who bumped everybody down the list for his transplant).
Alliance bashing, witty dialog and some gunplay ensues.
