Default Hope + present for future

I hope your wishes come true.
I'm just wondering whether I could use "will" in this sentence instead of present simple.
I hope your wishes will come true.
One of my student asked the question.
On the other hand, her teacher wrote : I hope your wishes came true. Is it possible to use a past simple to express future wishes .
Wish + past simple and wish + past perfect express regret, doesn't it?

Thanks for your help
