he is forever known/ he will be forever known

[navi tasan]

Which are correct:

1-These books, when published, will be what he is forever known.
2-These books, when published, will be what he will forever known.

3-These books, when published, will complete the saga for which he is forever known.
4-These books, when published, will complete the saga for which he will be forever known.

I prefer '2' and '4' personally. In '3' and '4' part of the saga has been already published and he is already famous, but I still feel we need the future tense with 'forever'.

Gratefully,
Navi.

I agree with the above answers. "Forever known" and "known forever" mean the same here.
